Ingredients
- 1 ½ – 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 ½ packets GF McCormick Taco Seasoning
- ⅓ cup water
- 3 cups cheddar cheese
- 5 cups mozzarella cheese
- 36 ounces 4% milkfat small curd cottage cheese
- 1 package GF tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat; chopping into small pieces as it cooks.
- While ground beef is cooking, mix together cheddar, mozarella, and cottage cheese in a large bowl.
- Strain ground beef and rinse.
- Return ground beef to the skillet; add water and seasoning. Mix well (do not turn the burner back on).
- Lightly spray 9” x 13” baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; then wipe with a paper towel so there is just a little oil evenly on the bottom.
- Spread tortillas over bottom of the baking dish–slight overlapping is okay. Cut the edges of the tortillas so that are even with the sides of the pan and do not go up the sides at all. If needed, cut extra tortillas to fill in any gaps until the bottom is covered.
- Spread half of the prepared taco meat over the tortillas.
- Spread half of the cheese mixture over meat.
- Repeat layers.
- Tent foil over the pan (so that it does not touch cheese) and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake 20 more minutes.
- Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes (or dish will be runny).
- Serve with your favorite sides–lettuce, tomato, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, and GF chips.
