Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought packet or homemade)
  • 3/4 cup salsa (or canned diced tomatoes (You don’t need to drain the liquid.))
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 3 cups shredded cheese ((I use the mix of cheddar and jack cheese, but you can use your favorite cheese that melts well.))
  • 10-12 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas, 6-8 inch size)
  • cooking spray
  • toppings such as cilantro (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Place a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with oil and add the ground beef.
  • Stir for 5-6 minutes until the beef is partly browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Strained out any accumulated fat.
  • Add in salsa, corn and taco seasoning. Stir for 2-3 minutes, cooking until the sauce thickens. Drain any excess liquid. (this will prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.)
  • Place tortillas to cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish (You can break the tortillas to cover the gaps).
  • Top with half of the beef mixture. Then add 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the above step (Add more tortillas, beef mixture and cheese).
  • Then add another layer of tortillas, and finish with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Serve warm with desired toppings.
