Layered Taco Bake

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
water as called for on back of seasoning packet (usually 3/4 cup water)
½ cup salsa con queso
3 (8-inch) flour tortillas (soft taco size)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (divided use)

Instructions

Brown and crumble 1 pound ground beef. Drain excess grease.
Add in 1 packet taco seasoning and water as called for on back of seasoning packet (usually 3/4 cup) following directions on back of seasoning packet.
Once the taco meat is ready, turn off heat and add in 1/2 cup salsa con queso. Give it a good stir until thoroughly combined.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer the bottom of the pan with one of the 3 (8-inch) flour tortillas.
Now add about 1/3 of the ground beef taco filling on the the first layer.
Then add 1/3 of the 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Continue until you are done with all the layers: another tortilla, more taco mixture, more cheese.
Bake at 350F degrees for about 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are slightly golden brown.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve. Top with desired toppings.
