Yummy Taco Bake

This dish was super yummy! I didn’t have all of the ingredients for the original recipe so I tweaked it (like I usually do).
 
Here is what I used:

Half yellow pepper, minced

I medium sized shallot, minced

I lb. ground turkey

10 – 15 grape tomatoes, minced

1 pkg. taco seasoning

4 oz. Velveeta cheese

2 cups shredded cheese (I used mozzarella, but any could be used)

2 tortillas (I would use 3 the next time)

 

The first thing I did was sauté half a minced yellow pepper and a minced shallot.

Then I added a pound of ground turkey and browned it in the same pan as the pepper and shallot. To this I added about 15 minced grape tomatoes.

 

I also added a package of taco seasoning. I did not add the water called for on the package because of the juices from the pepper, shallot, and tomatoes.

 

While this was all browning, I placed a tortilla in the bottom of my baking dish. I trimmed the sides and filled in the gapes with the trimmings. I trimmed a second tortilla at the same time.

 

The original recipe called for salsa con queso which I did not have but I did have Velveeta! I cut off a 4 oz. section, cubed it, and added to the meat. Once the cheese had melted and it was mixed in, I took it off the heat.

 

Then I layered half of the meat mixture over the tortilla. Then I added a layer of cheeses followed by the second tortilla, meat, and cheese.

 

 

 

Then I baked it for 30 min at 350 degrees.

 

The next time I make this I will add a third tortilla on top of the top layer of cheese and then maybe some more cheese!
