Stacked Tacos

I was desperate for a recipe to use hamburger and I stumbled upon this recipe. It is a new twist or spin on an old fav.~~TACOS! I really liked the crispy shells and stacking it together. I will say that next time I will only do 2 layers (3 were just too many to eat) for me and 1 layer for the kids instead of splitting one up! I also halved the recipe for me and still have leftovers!

Very easy and ingredients you have on hand. I didn't have tomato soup on hand and it seemed to turn out fine to me!

Stacked Tacos

(www.realmomkitchen.com)

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 (8 oz) cans of tomato sauce
• 2 (14.5 0z) cans of diced tomatoes
• 2 cups salsa
• 1 can condensed tomato soup
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• fajita sized flour tortillas
• grated cheddar cheese
• chopped lettuce
• sliced olives
• sour cream
• guacamole

Brown ground beef in a skillet and drain.

In a large soup pot, add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salsa, tomato soup, and taco seasoning. Stir well. Add ground beef, mix in, and allow mixture to simmer for 1 hour to blend flavors. (the mixture will be quite soupy)

Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a skillet. Pan fry each tortilla in hot oil until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towel.

To serve: Place a tortilla shell on each plate. Add 1/4 cup of saucy meat mixture on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Place 1/4 cup sauce and cheese on that tortilla. Repeat one more time. You should now have a stack of 3 layers. Then top with lettuce, olives and a dollop of sour cream. Makes 10 stacked tacos.

**The saucy meat mixture freezes well.
