This Layered Taco Bake was one of the easiest things I’ve done in some time. I was watching the Today Show a few weeks ago and saw something similar done during one of their 1-Minute cooking segments (which is about how long they give their guests, right?), and I’ve seen this on Pinterest somewhere as well.
The Today Show version used a springform (which I used), but the Pinterest version used a regular 8-inch baking dish. It doesn’t matter, but I’d go with the springform if you’re more concerned with looks. It’s not just for cheesecakes!
Heavenly Layered Taco Bake
This layered taco bake is heavenly. You'll love how gratifying this snack is. Check out the easy recipe here.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - cooked
1 packet taco seasoning
1 teaspoon water - for taco seasoning
3 cups cheddar cheese - shredded- 1 can green chiles
8 inches tortillas
1 can refried beans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If using a springform, place it on the cookie sheet to prevent any possible leakage during baking. Spray with nonstick cooking spray (cheese is sticky!)
- Start layering!
- Add a few tablespoons of refried beans to the bottom layer tortilla. I only used refried beans on the bottom layer.
- Add the sparse amount of beef to layer.
- Add a tablespoon of green chiles over beef, spreading over the layer.
- Sprinkle layer with shredded cheese (as much as you like!)
- Add another tortilla and continue until desired height! I felt four layers were good enough for us.
- Bake 30 minutes and allow to cool about 15 minutes before removing from springform/cake pan.
- Cut and serve! I like to top mine with chopped lettuce and sour cream.
