Taco Tuesday Casserole image

This is a great Mexican dish for our bigger family. Could be made ahead for potlucks too! This recipe I threw together with what I had on had one night that sounded good together! Could be done with chicken as alternative too. I served this with cooked spinach and put my portion of casserole over the spinach.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 pounds ground beef
½ cup diced onion
1 ½ cups water
9 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
5 flour tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
8 corn tortilla chips, or more to taste
¼ cup diced tomatoes, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped olives, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until almost browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 5 minutes more. Mix water and taco seasoning into beef mixture; simmer until water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Line the prepared baking dish with tortillas and top with 1/2 of the ground beef mixture. Spoon 1/2 of the corn over the beef layer and top with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Crush tortilla chips over cheese layer. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with Cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and olives.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used, but corn tortillas are more traditional and hold up better in the casserole.
Don't overcook the meat: Ground beef, chicken, or pork can be used in this casserole. Cook the meat until it is browned and cooked through, but not dry.
Use a flavorful sauce: Enchilada sauce, taco sauce, or salsa can be used in this casserole. Choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of and that will complement the other ingredients.
Add plenty of cheese: Cheese is essential in this casserole. Use a Mexican-blend cheese or a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack cheese.
Don't be afraid to add other ingredients: This casserole is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, beans, or rice. Add whatever you like to make it your own.

Taco Tuesday Casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover taco meat.
