Taco Stack

This Taco Stack is an easy meal for Taco Tuesday or taco any day. And if you are in Covid19 isolation and don't have all the ingredients then I have included plenty of substitutes. Like, if you don't have tortillas you can use pitas. Then, instead of Taco Tuesday it could be a Pita Party. But don't invite me to your pita party...don't invite anyone!! We're in self isolation!!! 

Ingredients:
8 small tortillas (or large ones, or pitas, split)
1 lb ground beef (or pork, chicken or turkey)
1 onion chopped (or green pepper, or leave it out)
2 tbsps taco seasoning (or make your own, recipe link below)
1/2 cup refried beans (or leave them out)
1 cup black beans (or kidney or pinto or whatever)
You can even substitute kernel corn for the beans
1  1/2 cups salsa (or canned tomatoes and jalapeño peppers)
a couple of squirts sriracha sauce (or any hot sauce)
3/4 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, mozzarella)

Brown the beef in a skillet then add the onion and cook until onion is tender. Add the taco seasoning and remove from heat. Stir in the black beans, sriracha, 1/2 cup salsa and 1/4 cup cheese.

To start the stack spoon some salsa into the bottom of a baking dish. This will keep the tortilla from sticking. Lay a tortilla on top.

Roughly divide the meat in the pan into 6 portions (or 8 if not using refried beans) Add 1/6 of the meat mixture on top of the first tortilla. Add another tortilla and more meat.

After a couple of meat layers add 1/2 the refried beans (or more meat if not using refried beans) and continue stacking... a couple of meat layers and a refried bean layer.

End with meat on top then ladle the rest of the salsa on.

And the rest of the cheese piled high!

Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes then let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Great with a side of salad!
