Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8x8x4-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat; breaking it up into small crumbles, until no pink remains, about 3 minutes. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, add in the garlic, stir to incorporate. Pour off all the grease.
  • Return to heat and stir in the beans, taco sauce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and olives until combined.
  • Spread a thin layer of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Cover with 2 tortillas, splitting one of them in half to fit. Spread more of the meat mixture on top, followed by 1/3 cup cheese. Repeat these layers 3 more times, ending with meat mixture and cheese.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing, which will help the layers stay intact.
  • Serve with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
