Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Taco Meat
- Over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink.
- Add diced onion and seasonings, Stir to mix.
- Add in tomato sauce and water.
- Turn the heat down and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
How to Assemble
- Using a baking sheet, place down 8 tortillas down, making sure to overlap and hang half over the sides (2 will go on each long side, 1 on each end, and 2 in the middle).
- Sprinkle the bottom with 1/2 the shredded cheese.
- Layer over the taco meat, black beans, green chilies, jalapenos, and cilantro evenly over top of the tortillas.
- Sprinkle with the remaining half of cheese.
- Gently fold each tortilla towards the middle and place 1 last one in the middle to cover up the remaining gap. Brush the top with olive oil, and place another baking sheet on top - right side up - helping to hold the tortillas down and bake evenly.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove, cut into squares and serve with your desired toppings.
