Tortillas: Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with a layer of tortillas, cutting them to fit if needed.
Layering: Add a layer of the meat mixture on top of the tortillas. Spread some sour cream over the meat mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of tortillas on top.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top layer of tortillas.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite taco toppings such as chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, or avocado.
Customization Ideas:
Vegetarian: Replace the meat with a mix of sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or lentils. Use a plant-based cheese if desired.
Spicy: Add chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the meat mixture for extra heat.
Cheese Variety: Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend of your favorites.
Toppings: Serve with guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
