Description
An outrageously delicious and comforting meal made similar to an Italian lasagna, with layered flour tortillas, seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, corn and topped with cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
- 1.5 lb Ground beef
- 1 small Onion, diced
- 2 Cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Cup Shredded mozzarella
- 1 Cup Corn
- 1 (14oz) Can Diced tomatoes (I use fire roasted)
- 8 Flour tortillas, medium size (6inches) (or 12 of the smaller ones)
- 2 Tbsp. Taco seasoning (Use the homemade below or a store-bought)
Homemade Taco Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients for the taco seasoning together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Then add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and stir over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Drain if there is excess fat otherwise it will make the tortillas soggy.
- Add the taco seasoning and mix until the meat is evenly coated and the spices begin to become aromatic. Add 1/4 cup of water, the diced tomatoes and corn. Simmer uncovered for for 8-10 minutes, frequently stirring so the filling doesn’t burn. Once the liquid has reduced and the tomato is no longer tangy, remove it from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place 4 tortillas on the bottom of a 9 x13″ baking dish. Add half the filling on top, then top with one cup of cheddar cheese. Layer the next 4 tortillas on top, followed by the rest of the filling. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese as well as the mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake center rack for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
