1 large onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
seasoned salt and black pepper (to taste)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (can use more or less)

Directions

1

Set oven to 375 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
2

Grease a round 10-inch baking dish (I use a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan or a pie plate).
3

Cook ground beef or turkey with the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno peppers (if using) until crumbly and cooked through; drain off the fat.
4

Mix in the taco seasoning mix; cook stirring 2 minutes.
5

Add in salsa; mix to combine and simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
6

To assemble; place 1 tortilla in the bottom of the pan then sprinkle 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the tortilla, then dollup 1/3 the sour cream over the ground beef then carefully spread out using back of a spoon or a knife.
7

Sprinkle 1/3 the chilies over the sour cream, then 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
8

Repeat two more times (you should have used 3 tortillas) ending up with the cheese on the top.
9

Cover loosley with foil (making certain not to allow the foil to touch the cheese or the cheese will stick to the foil).
10

Bake for about 1 hour.
