• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 (1.25 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
• 18 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• cooking spray
• 1 (24 ounce) jar salsa
• 1 cup sliced green onion
• 0.5 cup water
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place 6 tortillas into the prepared baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the salsa on top of the tortillas. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture evenly over the salsa. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the green onions. Drop 1/2 of the sour cream randomly over the green onions. Top with 1/2 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layers. Top with 6 tortillas, spread with remaining salsa, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned; drain. Season with taco seasoning, garlic, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir in water, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and cheeses are melted throughout the layers, 30 to 45 minutes.
