Spicy Mexican Beef Bake image

This is something I am throwing together for dinner tonight with things I happen to have on hand. I like to make "bakes" when the weather is cold and it's a bit chilly here in MI today.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs beef roast
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (16 ounce) package corn tortillas
6 roma tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 sweet onion
1 (8 ounce) package cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
  • Cut the roast in small strips (fajita style), and brown it in a hot pan.
  • While the meat is browning shred the cheese, slice the tomatoes, chop the green pepper, and dice the onion.
  • After meat is browned, drain off any fat and add taco seasoning along with a half cup of water. Bring up to a simmer.
  • Once everything is prepared, lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish and layer ingredients starting with tortillas, then a layer of meat, followed by the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. Repeat layering, reserving the cheese for the top.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for additional 15 mins, until cheese just begins to brown.
  • You could also add a can of bean (black beans or pinto) as an additional layer if you wish. I would have included in the recipe but I don't happen to have any on hand.
