Beef and Black Bean Tortilla Stack

This dish is deceiving.  Looks like it would only serve one person with one big healthy appetite.  But it serves 4 quite well with a side of veggies or salad.

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups salsa
2  1/2 cups grated cheese, cheddar or mozza or both
2 tbsps. taco seasoning
squirt or 2 of sriracha sauce
6 small tortillas

Brown beef, add chopped onions.  Spoon out any accumulated grease.  Sprinkle taco seasoning and add sriracha. Remove from heat.
Add beans, 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup salsa to the meat.
Put a ladleful of salsa on bottom of a baking dish.

Start stacking with a tortilla.  Roughly divide the meat mixture in the pan by 5.  Layer 1 portion on top of tortilla. Reserve 1 cup salsa for the end.  With remaining 1/2 cup salsa, spoon a little over each addition of meat.  Divide 1 cup cheese by 5 and add 1 portion to top of meat.

Continue stacking, ending with a tortilla topped with the remaining 1 cup of salsa and about 1/2 cup cheese. 
Ready for the oven.

Bake in a 375F oven for 25-30 minutes.  Broil a couple of minutes to brown if you like.  Let stand 10 minutes.
Is that the bomb or what?


Goes well served with sour cream.
