Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (for serving)
  • 5 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips or tostadas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.
  • Cook beef. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  • Layer tortillas. Place 2 tortillas at the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly.
  • Add layers. Spread half the beef, half the cheese sauce, and a layer of crushed chips. Repeat with another set of tortillas, remaining beef, cheese sauce, and chips.
  • Top with cheese. Spread sour cream and sprinkle shredded cheddar on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
  • Garnish with tomatoes, lettuce, and your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • You can swap cheese sauce for queso or melted Velveeta.
  • Add black beans or corn for extra texture.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or hot salsa.
