Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey Both options work well.
  • 6 pieces soft flour tortillas Easier to layer than corn tortillas.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning A convenient shortcut.
  • 1 can refried beans Can substitute with black beans.
  • 2 cups salsa Essential for moisture.
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Cheddar and Monterey Jack preferred.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey. Add chopped onion and taco seasoning to the skillet while cooking.
  3. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Layer a tortilla on the bottom, followed by a layer of seasoned meat, refried beans, salsa, and cheese.
  5. Repeat the layering until all ingredients are used, ensuring the final layer is cheese.
Cooking
  1. Bake for about 25 minutes or until bubbling and slightly crisp on the edges.
  2. Let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting to allow the layers to set.

Notes

Store leftovers tightly covered in foil in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for crispy edges. Can be assembled ahead of time and baked the next day.
