Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can chili beans
- 12 –16 corn tortillas quartered
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 15 oz
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned; drain off any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, chili beans, Rotel, and crushed tomatoes. Simmer briefly to combine the flavors.
- Prepare a 9×13-inch casserole dish by coating it with non-stick spray. Arrange a layer of tortilla quarters across the bottom. Spoon half of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas. Top with another layer of tortilla pieces, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the top.
- Add a final layer of tortillas, pour over the remaining meat mixture, spread sour cream evenly across the surface, and finish with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Serve alongside tortilla chips and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
