Serves 6

Ingredients

2 lbs. ground beef 2 taco seasoning packets
Fresh Pico de Gallo Extra thin soft corn tortillas
1 can Campbell’s Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup 16 oz. shredded Mexican style cheese

Directions

  1. In a stock pot, brown beef with pico de gallo. Add taco seasoning & the amount of water called for by the seasoning packet. Add soup. Stir until the beef has a thick creamy sauce, simmering for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
  2. Layer the rest like a lasagna. In a 9″x13″ pan, place a single layer of tortillas. Spoon in half of the meat mixture & cover with half of the cheese. Add another layer of tortillas, the rest of the meat, & then the rest of the cheese.
  3. Bake at 350°F until cheese is melted & bubbly. Cut into squares & serve with sour cream, guacamole, & fresh pico de gallo if desired.

Chef’s Note: If your grocery doesn’t carry fresh pico, you can make it yourself by combining finely diced tomatoes, white onions, cilantro, jalapeno, & lime juice. Or just dice up the tomatoes & onions & simply use that.

Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef 1 pkg taco/burrito seasoning
1 small container sour cream 2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 small can diced green chilies 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 pkg large flour tortillas toppers (salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Brown ground beef & prepare according to directions on the seasoning packet.
  3. While beef is browning, mix together the soup, chilies, & sour cream.
  4. When beef is done, allow to cool slightly. Spoon into flour tortillas & place in the bottom of a 9″x13″ baking dish. 
  5. Top with soup mixture & cheese. 
  6. Bake for 30 minutes until cheese is melted to your liking.
  7. Serve with optional toppers.

Chef’s Note: I like extra spicy so I usually put several dashes of hot sauce in the meat with the seasoning mix. Also, sometimes I add some cheese to the beef mixture as it’s cooling for extra cheesiness.
