Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 16 oz can refried beans
  • 4-1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce
Garnishes
  • Avocado
  • Lime wedges
  • cilantro
  • chopped onion
  • sour cream
  • 10-12 corn tortillas (I used street taco size -if you use bigger you will need less)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°.

  2. Brown the meat in a heavy skillet and add the taco seasoning packet and the water. Simmer until the liquid evaporates. Set aside.

  3. Grate the cheese and get all the other ingredients ready.

  4. Now start the layers. First, just a tad of the enchilada sauce on the bottom.

  5. Lay the tortillas on the bottom of an 8X8 pan.

  6. Cover them with beans, then some meat and some cheese and a little sauce.

  7. Repeat with another layer.

  8. Add another layer of tortillas, the rest of the sauce and more cheese.

  9. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown.

  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

  11. Serve with avocado, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, chopped onions and sour cream. Easy and delicious!
