Instructions

Cook the Beef

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles, until no pink remains. Drain the fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water and simmer for 2 minutes until the beef is coated.

Layer

Lay 2 tortillas flat in the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish so they overlap in the middle and their edges bend up the sides. Tear a third tortilla to fill the corners.
Spread half of the beef over the tortillas in an even layer.
Spoon half of the refried beans over the beef and spread them roughly, then spoon on half of the salsa.
Scatter 1 cup of cheddar over the top.
Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, beef, beans and salsa, and finish with the remaining 2 cups of cheddar.

Bake and Serve

Bake for 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling and browned in spots.
Rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 8 squares.
Top each square with a spoonful of sour cream, cilantro and green onion.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Drain the beef well after browning; extra fat makes the bottom tortilla layer soggy.

Tip 2 of 2

Tear the third tortilla in each layer into pieces to fill the corners of the dish, so every bite has a tortilla base.
