Taco Bake

1. Brown 1 pound of lean ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat is browned. Drain grease. Leave the meat in the skillet.

2. Add 1 packet of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water.

3. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.

4. Put the ground beef mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish in an even layer.

5. Take 2 small tortillas and cut them into smallish pieces (I use these low carb ones) and layer on top of the meat.

6. Next take a can of refried beans (I use the fat free version) and spread over the tortilla layer.

7. Next, add a layer of salsa.

8. Cover the whole thing with a nice layer of cheese, I like to use a 2% milk Colby Jack.

9. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.

10. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 5 minutes before cutting into it.

11. Serve with some light sour cream and some fabulous guacamole.
