- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 1 oz. package taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 6 8-inch flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion until beef is no longer pink. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the prepared baking dish. Tear two tortillas into large pieces and layer them over the sauce. Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture, 1/3 of the remaining sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat once.
Finish with a third layer of torn tortillas, the remaining sauce and the remaining cheese. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
