I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Taco Bake

Talk about easy easy recipe that hardly calls for any ingredients...this was the perfect thing to cook last night when I really wasn't feeling good and wanted to do something quick.

You can add any sort of topping you want to it whether it be sour cream, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, guacamole, etc. Of course, I had to use guacamole. I think I use avocados or guacamole for almost every Mexican dish.

I used the smaller tortillas and packed on the meat a little more so that there wasn't too much leftovers. If you use the small ones, it makes 4 slices like the picture below which worked bc I don't need leftovers today for lunch.

About to put in the oven

Finished - but before I added my toppings

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
3/4 cup water
3 large flour tortillas (it called for 8 in. size, but I just used the smaller ones)
1/2 cup salsa con queso (it's that jar of Tostitos that you find on the chip aisle)
1 1/2-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Any additional toppings you would like

What To Do:
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Brown ground beef and drain grease
  • Add taco seasoning and water to meat
  • Mix well and let cook for about 3 minutes; until meat is coated well and meat mixture is thick
  • Turn off heat and add 1/2 cup salsa con queso
  • Mix well
  • Spray round baking dish with nonstick cooking spray
  • Layer bottom of pan with 1 tortilla
  • Add 1/3 meat mixture on top and then sprinkle with cheese
  • Top with another tortilla and keep layering (3 layers)
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and outside edges are slightly brown
  • Wait a few minutes before cutting and serving
