  • Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch casserole dish (I used 8 x 11 inches) with cooking spray or butter. Arrange 2 tortillas at the bottom of the dish and add half of the cooked ground beef mixture and a layer of cheddar cheese (½) on top. Repeat the layers.

  • Let the taco bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving with your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!
