Spicy Mexican Beef Bake

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.

2. 2

   Cut the roast in small strips (fajita style), and brown it in a hot pan.

3. 3

   While the meat is browning shred the cheese, slice the tomatoes, chop the green pepper, and dice the onion.

4. 4

   After meat is browned, drain off any fat and add taco seasoning along with a half cup of water. Bring up to a simmer.

5. 5

   Once everything is prepared, lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish and layer ingredients starting with tortillas, then a layer of meat, followed by the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. Repeat layering, reserving the cheese for the top.

6. 6

   Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for additional 15 mins, until cheese just begins to brown.

7. 7

   You could also add a can of bean (black beans or pinto) as an additional layer if you wish. I would have included in the recipe but I don't happen to have any on hand.
