Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
5 large flour tortillas
2½ cups cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat then drain.
Add the diced onions and bell peppers and continue to cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the taco seasoning and salsa and warm through. Turn off the heat.
On a baking sheet, place 2 tortillas on top of each other, then add half of the meat mixture and spread all over evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese all over the top of the meat mixture.
Start again with another layer and add another 2 tortillas on top of the cheese.
Spread the remaining meat mixture over evenly.
Sprinkle with another cup of cheese.
Place the final tortilla on the top and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top of the last tortilla.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes any of those traditional accompaniments.

Notes

Keep your pan a bit cooler and heat up as necessary so as not to burn the vegetables or garlic at this stage.
If you want to increase the spiciness, you can use spicy salsa or add 1 teaspoon of chili powder.
Make sure to spread the remaining meat mixture over evenly for a smooth finish.
