This taco bake is like a pre-assembled dream. You can layer the ground-beef mixture with Ortega® Yellow Corn Taco Shells and cheese ahead of time. Once it's baked, load yours up with whatever toppings your taste buds desire without any fear or mess. (Courtesy of Delish.com)
1 | tablespoon | extra virgin olive oil | |
|
|||
1 | pound | ground beef | |
|
|||
1 | small yellow onion, chopped and divided | ||
|
|||
3 | cloves | garlic, thinly sliced | |
|
|||
1 | can | (28 ounce) crushed tomatoes | |
|
|||
1 | can | (15 ounce) pinto beans, drained and rinsed | |
|
|||
2 | cans | (4 ounces each) Ortega Mild Diced Green Chiles | |
|
|||
1 | package | (1.25 ounce) Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix | |
|
|||
9 | Ortega Yellow Corn Taco Shells | ||
|
|||
3 | cups | shredded cheese | |
|
|||
1 | avocado, peeled, pitted and diced | ||
|
|||
1/4 | cup | fresh cilantro leaves | |
|
|||
1/4 | cup | chopped tomatoes | |
|
|||
2 | green onions, chopped | ||
|
In a large cast iron or high sided skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the beef, onion, and garlic, cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until beef is no longer pink and golden, about 8 minutes. Drain fat and return to medium-high heat.
Pour in crushed tomatoes, pinto beans, green chili, taco seasoning, and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
Spread a small amount of the beef mixture on the bottom of a 8-by-10 inch baking dish, then top with a layer of taco shells. Add a third of the meat mixture, 1/3 of the cheese, then repeat with another layer of taco shells, beef, and cheese. Top with the remaining layer of the taco shells and the remaining third of the meat mixture. Sprinkle top with taco shells broken in small pieces and the remaining cheese.
Bake until cheese is melty and the casserole is warmed through, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with some of the avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, green onion, and chiles and serve with more on the side.
