I love the flavors of tacos. Putting this together as a casserole really amps up the flavors. Such a delicious first bite. Make sure to lightly cook your flour tortillas first for a wonderful texture in the casserole.
Taco Bake Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- 1 can rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cans corn
- 2 pkgs taco seasoning
- 10-12 flour tortillas
- 2 TBS cooking oil
- 3 cups shredded mexican blend cheese
- sour cream, pico, cilantro, olives for toppings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a skillet, cook diced onions with cooking oil for 4-5 minute until softened.
- Add ground beef and brown thoroughly.
- Add in taco seasonings, rotel tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and corn. Mix well. Turn burner off.
- In a large skillet, cook tortillas for 10 seconds each side. (This will prevent tortillas from being mushy in the casserole.)
- Lightly spray a 13x9 casserole or baking dish. Place 2 cups of meat mixture into dish and spread evenly.
- Place tortillas in a single layer, you may have to cut some in half to fit, completely covering the meat mixture.
- Add 2 more cups of meat mixture and spread evenly over the tortilla layer.
- Place 1 cup of cheese evenly over meat mixture.
- Place another layer of tortillas and the rest of meat mixture.
- Cover casserole dish with tin foil and place in oven for 25-30 minutes until heated through. Remove tin foil and place 1 cup of cheese over top of casserole, place back in oven for 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
- Serve with sour cream, pico, cilantro, and/or olives. Enjoy.
