Low Carb Taco Bake

This is the first time I’ve ever posted a recipe without first making it. Why? Because I’m awaiting one of the ingredients. The recipe calls for “salsa con queso” and I’ve ordered a bottle made with ghost peppers. The moment that arrives, you can bet your sweet bippy that we’ll make it up!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (recipe below)
  • ½  cup salsa con queso
  • 3 Hero tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheeses of your choice)

Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (Or these hot ones!)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Brown and crumble the ground beef. Add the taco seasoning. Turn off the heat and add ½ cup salsa con queso and stir well.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8-inch round baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.

Place one tortilla on the bottom and add ⅓ of your beef/salsa con queso mixture and then add ⅓ of your shredded cheese blend.

Make two more layers and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Allow to cool and serve . . . with your favorite taco topping: salsa, chopped tomatoes, sour cream . . . whatever you like.
