Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 (28oz) can red mild enchilada sauce
- 1 (10oz) can rotel tomatoes or diced tomatoes or salsa
- 1 (18oz) bag tortilla chips
- 3 TBS homemade taco seasoning or 1 pkt taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or other favorite type of cheese
- sliced green onions or cilantro as a garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet place ground beef and onion. Break up and brown ground beef until no longer pink and onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in taco seasoning.
- Mix in enchilada sauce and rotel tomatoes, diced tomatoes or salsa. Turn off burner.
- Place 1/2 the (18oz) bag of tortilla chips evenly into prepared baking dish.
- Pour 1/2 of the enchilada/ground beef mixture over chips evenly.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the rest of the tortilla chips over the cheese layer.
- Pour the rest of enchilada/ground beef mixture over chips
- Sprinkle rest of shredded cheese over meat mixture.
- Cover baking dish with foil. (Spray non-stick cooking spray onto foil and place sprayed side of foil over the cheese; this will prevent the foil from pulling the cheese off once removed after it's cooked.)
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil from baking dish and bake an additional 20 minutes until bubbly.
- Garnish with green onions or cilantro.
