Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 1 diced tomato
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning, salsa, and water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, lay two tortillas, overlapping if necessary. Spread half of the refried beans over the tortillas, followed by half of the meat mixture, and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layering with two more tortillas, the remaining refried beans, the remaining meat mixture, and another 1/3 of the cheese. Top with the final two tortillas. Spread the sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese, green onions, black olives, and diced tomato.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
