Taco Grande - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. ground meat
1 one-oz. pkg. Taco seasoning mix
Water
1 16 oz. jar salsa
8 (6-7 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded co-jack cheese
1 green onion
4 c. shredded iceberg lettuce
1/2 c. sour cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Lightly grease bottom and sides of 8-10 inch round pan.
Set aside.
In skillet, cook and stir ground meat over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until it is no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces.
Add taco mix and amount of water as directed on pkg.
Continue cooking according to pkg. directions.
Remove skillet from heat.
Stir in one cup of salsa. Arrange 4 tortillas in bottom and up the side of the prepared round pan.
(Tortillas will overlap on the bottom but not all of the area on the sides of the pan will be covered.)
Spoon meat mixture evenly over tortillas.
Sprinkle with one cup of the cheese.
Slice and sprinkle half of the green onion over cheese. Top with remaining 4 tortillas, overlapping them to create a scalloped edge effect.
Press tortillas down over filling. Spread salsa over tortillas.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and onion. Bake 30 minutes.
Remove and let stand 5 minutes.
Cut into wedges.
Chop lettuce into thin strands.
Serve taco wedges over lettuce and top with sour cream.
