Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with chiles drained
- 1 can nacho cheese soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 12 pieces 8-inch soft tortillas
- guacamole for garnish
- cilantro chopped, for garnish
- sour cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
- Return the drained beef to the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2 more minutes.
- In a bowl, combine drained Ro*Tel tomatoes, nacho cheese soup, and sour cream. Stir in the seasoned beef until evenly combined.
- Layer 3 tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a layer of tortillas on top.
- Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer of tortillas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned at the edges.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm, garnished with chopped cilantro, guacamole, and additional sour cream if desired.
Notes
For a spicy kick, use hot Ro*Tel and add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
