Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup salsa (medium or mild)
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or use all sour cream)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 6–8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
