This is my dad's aunt Dema's recipe. (She's the same aunt who made the King Ranch Chicken recipe posted here on Just a Pinch.) I've made it a few times and always get rave reviews. It's easy to make, especially if you chop the onion and bell pepper ahead of time. I use Roma (plum) tomatoes because they're just the right...

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb lean ground meat
8 oz sour cream
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 c bisquick
1/4 c cold water
1 or 2 medium tomatoes, sliced (or use 3 or 4 roma tomatoes.)
1/2 c green pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside.

  • 6. Bake in preheated oven about 25 to 30 minutes or until edges of crust are golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Use sturdy corn tortillas that won't break apart when folded or layered.
  • Layer Wisely: Start with a layer of tortillas, then beans, meat, salsa, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Repeat layers until the desired height is achieved.
  • Brown the Beef: For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef before adding it to the taco squares.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: A blend of Mexican cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella provides a delicious and gooey filling.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the taco squares in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Such as sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or hot sauce.
