Equipment

1.5 Quart Casserole Dish
1.5 Quart Casserole Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ lb ground beef
  • 1 can diced chilies optional
  • ¼ cup beef bone broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix or homemade
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup taco sauce
  • 2 low carb tortillas cut in half
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • Shredded lettuce optional
  • Diced tomato optional
  • Sour cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1½-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Add chilies (if using), broth (or water), and taco seasoning and cook, allowing liquid to reduce and thicken. Remove from heat.
  • Add cream cheese, stirring until creamy and well blended. Allow to cool slightly.
  • To assemble, spread 2T taco sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish, then top with ½ of the taco meat mixture. Sprinkle on ¾ cup of cheese, then place one of the low carb tortillas on top.
  • Repeat for the second layer. Top tortilla layer with remaining taco sauce and remaining cheese. Bake for 25 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sour cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the spiciness of the casserole by adding or removing some of the chilies.
  • Using beef bone broth rather than water adds extra flavor and protein to the dish.
  • To brown the top, place the casserole under the broiler for a few minutes at the end of the cook time.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to six months.
  • Thaw before reheating.
