How to cook deliciously - Baked Taco Casserole

1 . Stage

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

2 . Stage

Season beef mixture with cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add stewed tomatoes with juice and enchilada sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.

3 . Stage

While beef mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

4 . Stage

Layer 1/2 of the tortillas with damp paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until warm, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

5 . Stage

Mix cottage cheese and chiles together in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon cottage cheese mixture in each tortilla and fold in half.

6 . Stage

Place 1/2 of the beef mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Place cheese-filled tacos over the cheese. Pour remaining beef mixture over the tacos. Cover with aluminum foil.

7 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly heated, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard the foil, top with remaining pepper Jack and Cheddar, and bake until cheeses are melted, 4 to 5 minutes more.
