Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and taco seasoning over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink.
  • Add the enchilada sauce, water, and salsa to the beef.
  • Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat.
  • Arrange one-third of the tortilla strips over the bottom of a round or square baking dish.
  • Top with one-third of the beef mixture and one-third of the cheese.
  • Sprinkle a tablespoon of cilantro over the cheese.
  • Repeat layers two more times.
  • Microwave the casserole on high for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. (That's not a typo. It really only takes a couple of minutes.)
  • Garnish with remaining cilantro.
  • Serve with sour cream and freshly cut lime wedges.

Notes

Don't skip the fresh lime! I think that's what made this casserole amazing.
