Mexican style finely shredded cheese _____________________________________________ after baking, garnish with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro Heat oven to 400. Brown meat & onions in skillet; drain. Stir in salsa, beans, dressing & seasoning mix. Arrange 3 tortillas on bottom of 13 x 9-inch baking dish; cover with layers of half of each: meat mixture, sour cream, and cheese. Repeat layers. Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting to serve. Before serving, garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. *I have only used ground beef but if the fat content in this scares you, you could try reduced fat items, ground turkey, maybe even chicken would work???

I realize Taco Bell isn’t really Mexican food but it can be good some times. I also find lots of free coupons and other coupons for Mexican restaurants which is usually how I find a new restaurant and try it out because of the coupon.
