Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (25 minutes)
For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef while browning.
To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the ground beef with a can of drained and rinsed black beans or crumbled plant-based ground meat.
Feel free to customize the cheese! Cheddar, Colby Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend would all work beautifully.
Garnish with your favorite taco toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, chopped tomatoes, green onions, or cilantro.
This bake is also great with a layer of crushed tortilla chips on the bottom for extra crunch!
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
