SOUTHWEST TORTILLA CASSEROLE



Southwest Tortilla Casserole image

This is a twist on a taco casserole. I love to create in the kitchen. I made this last night, and the family loved it, so I thought I would jot it down while it is still fresh in my mind. This does have a kick to it and I would suggest that if you don't like spicy you can modify to your taste. I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is best.
  • Make sure the beef is thinly sliced against the grain. This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a hot pan to sear the beef. This will help to create a nice crust and seal in the juices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the beef will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the beef until it is just cooked through. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the rest of the recipe. This will help to create a truly delicious dish.
  • Serve the beef tacos immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Southwestern beef tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your tacos are perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
