Tex-Mex Tortilla Stack

By hmorris31

These soft wedges are a great alternative to taco night, and it's a great way to stretch a pound of meat to serve a whole houseful. I like how the cheese gets a bit crispy on the edges.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 (1.25 ounce) packet taco seasoning
• 1/3 cup water
• 6 corn tortillas
• 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Use 4 quart slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray. Add the ground beef to a large skillet on the stovetop over medium heat and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until browned. Discard any accumulated fat.

Step 2

Add the taco seasoning packet to the meat and stir in the water.

Step 3

Place 1 or 2 corn tortillas into the bottom of the insert (you may have to tear a few to get a good fit). Top with a ladleful of the meat mixture, and add a handful of the tomatoes.

Step 4

Add another layer of tortillas, and repeat the layers until you have run out of ingredients. Top with shredded cheese.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or on high for about 3 hours

Step 6

Turn off the pot and let the cooling cooker sit uncovered for 10-15 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving
