Brown and crumble

1/2 cup salsa con queso
. Give it a good stir until thoroughly combined.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer the bottom of the pan with one of the

.
Now add about 1/3 of the ground beef taco filling on the the first layer.

Continue until you are done with all the layers: another tortilla, more taco mixture, more cheese.

Allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve. Top with desired toppings.

Notes
Serve with sour cream and diced tomatoes on top, if desired.
Use as little or as much cheese as you like.
If the salsa con queso is too spicy for you, just use a regular cheese dip.
