Ingredients

6 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can refried beans ({or you can use regular black beans for a less creamy dip})
16 ounce salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cups sharp cheddar (shredded, divided (or pepper jack cheese)
cilantro (for garnish {optional})
green onion (for garnish {optional})

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Heat the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain the fat and place the beef in a large mixing bowl.
3
Add the diced tomatoes, beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin and 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir until combined.
4
Spread the beef taco mixture in a large non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet. Top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cheese.
5
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is starting to bubble.
6
Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onion and fresh tomato. Serve warm with chips.

Notes

Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you want to reheat I suggest quickly heating in the oven again or use the microwave. You can sub in black beans for the refried beans. It will just be more chunky and less creamy. If you like spice add cayenne pepper and jalapenos.
