South of the Border

We went south of the border tonight and had Mexican!! I made Taco Bake with a side of boxed Spanish rice. This recipe was beyond simple and turned out to be amazing and so filling!


Taco Bake:

Ingredients:

  • 2 or 3 8 inch flour tortillas
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • one bag shredded taco or Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa con queso
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • sour cream
Directions:
  1. Brown meat and drain excess grease. Mix in taco seasoning packet and water as stated on package. Follow directions on packet. Once done mix in 1/2 cup salsa con queso and stir.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°.
  3. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray or spread a small amount of cooking oil in pan. Place tortilla in pan. Cover tortilla with a couple spoonfuls of meat - enough to cover most of the tortilla. 
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese over meat. Use as little or as much cheese as you feel is necessary.
  5. Place another tortilla on top of the cheese. Repeat process with more meat and then cheese.
  6. If you still have meat left over, you can do another layer of meat and then cheese.
  7. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  8. Serve with sour cream and diced tomatoes if you like.

I was very wary of this recipe. It just did not seem like it was going to be a lot of food. I ended up making a three layer taco bake and cutting it up like a pizza. One piece with a side of rice had me completely full. Not to mention, it was so, so good!

This is something cheap and easy to throw together last minute that I will definitely be making again. :)
