Taco Bake

"This Taco Bake is the ultimate weeknight dinner for busy families who love bold flavors but don’t have time for a dozen dishes. It layers all your favorite taco ingredients—seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, and soft flour tortillas—into one easy-to-make casserole. Think of it as a taco lasagna: hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor in every bite. It’s ready in under an hour from start to finish and uses mostly pantry staples, making it perfect for those nights when you need something satisfying and stress-free. I love adding fresh toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa for that perfect taco-night feel, but it’s totally customizable based on what your family likes. What makes this recipe a true winner is that it’s so forgiving. You can swap in ground turkey, use low-carb tortillas, add black beans or corn to the filling, or spice it up with jalapeños. Leftovers reheat beautifully, and it even works great as a freezer meal if you want to prep ahead. This is the kind of recipe busy moms come back to week after week—easy, filling, and always a hit with the kids."
