Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp of homemade seasoning
- 1/2 cup taco sauce ( I used La Victoria Mild)
- 1 (4 oz) can of green chiles, not drained
- 1 (12 oz) box of corn tortilla taco shells, broken up
- 3 cups shredded colby jack, mexican blend or cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, cook ground beef and onions until ground beef is browned. Add garlic cloves and cook another minute.
Add in water, taco seasoning, taco sauce and green chiles.
Cook on medium heat until almost all of the liquid is gone. About 10-15 minutes.
Take 1/2 of the broken taco shells and spread them on the bottom of the baking dish. Add 1/2 of the meat mixture on top and then 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese. Repeat with 1 more layer.
Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
Top with jalapenos, sliced black olives, sour cream or salsa.
Notes
Can also be made with corn tortilla chips in place of the taco shells.
