Instructions
-
Brown and crumble 1 pound ground beef. Drain excess grease.

Once the taco meat is ready, turn off heat and add in 1/2 cup salsa con queso. Give it a good stir until thoroughly combined.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Layer the bottom of the pan with one of the 3 (8-inch) flour tortillas.

Now add about 1/3 of the ground beef taco filling on the the first layer.

Then add 1/3 of the 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend.

Allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve. Top with desired toppings.
Notes
- Serve with sour cream and diced tomatoes on top, if desired.
- Use as little or as much cheese as you like.
- If the salsa con queso is too spicy for you, just use a regular cheese dip.
