This is an excellent one-pan to one-dish meal that can serve a lot of people without too much effort. I recently had 6 people come over to my house after an event and they were hungry. I had a lot of snack items around, but I wanted to give them something more substantial. This was the perfect dish. Since it has layers of tortilla chips and cheese, baking it off turns it into a cross between tacos and enchiladas. I hope you try this one out!

I used to make a dish in the crock pot that was a taco casserole. You leave the tortillas flat and layer them with the taco mixture and cheeses in between the tortillas. I have lost the recipe and wonder if anyone has one that is similar.

Prep Time: :
Cook Time: :
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 Tbsp. mild chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup salsa
1 cup sour cream (low-fat is okay)
1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat is okay)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or 1 cup shredded cheddar and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack)
2 cups tortilla chips
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef. Brown on all sides. Add chili powder, cumin, black pepper and salsa to the skillet. Cook several minutes to allow flavors to come together. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cottage cheese and 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese. Scatter half of the tortilla chips over the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the meat mixture, then the cottage cheese mixture.
Spread the remaining tortilla chips on top. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of shredded Mexican cheese. Top with fresh cilantro.
Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5-10 until cheese melts. I don't know if this helps, but it might be what you're looking for. Good luck!
