Taco Bake

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 3-4 cups nacho cheese flavor Doritos, crushed
• 4-6 flour tortillas
• 16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese or mexican cheese

• 2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning

• 1 (10 ounce) can refried beans
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 8 ounces salsa
• shredded lettuce
• tomato

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Crush Dorito Chips.

3. 3

   Brown ground beef and drain, making sure it is crumbled well. Add in taco seasonings according to directions on packets.

4. 4

   Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.

5. 5

   Lay down 2 tortillas to cover bottom of pan. You may have to rip them to make them fit.

6. 6

   Add a layer of ground beef and then a handful (or more if you choose) of shredded cheese onto meat.

7. 7

   Add a layer of crushed dorito's onto cheese.

8. 8

   Repeat until you reach the top of the baking dish, ending with a layer of chips. Depending on how big my chunks of meat are, I can get 2 or 3 layers into a baking dish.

9. 9

   Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

10. 10

    Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes. Warm refried beans and spread on top of "casserole."

11. 11

    Finish by spreading sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce and whatever other toppings you like onto the dish.

12. 12

    I always like to garnish is with a light layer of chips onto the top of it after I am done layering.

13. 13

    Note: Cheese and chip amounts are estimates. I usually end up using 2 bags of cheese, but it really is in how much you put into each layer. The same applies with the chips.

14. 14

    Cook time and prep time are estimates.
