How to Make Taco Grande

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a deep-dish baker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Arrange 4 tortillas in the bottom of the baker, slightly overlapping.
  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Break the beef into small crumbles as it cooks.
  4. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Add 1 ounce of taco seasoning mix and water as directed on the package. Cook according to package directions.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of salsa.
  7. Evenly spoon the hamburger mixture over the tortillas in the baker.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the hamburger mixture.
  9. Sprinkle half of the chopped green onions over the cheese.
  10. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas, slightly overlapping, and press down gently.
  11. Spread the remaining 1 cup of salsa over the top tortillas.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and green onions over the salsa.
  13. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
  15. Serve immediately with shredded lettuce and sour cream.
