Ingredients:

• 12-13 soft flour 6-inch tortillas
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 packets of taco seasoning
• 2 cups diced tomatoes
• 1 cup diced red onions

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 stick butter

• 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• Sour cream, for garnish
• Diced green onions, for garnish

Preparation:

1. In a small bowl, combine red onions, green onions, Jalapeño pepper, tomatoes, and salt to taste. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and drain the grease. Add the taco seasoning and stir well.
3. In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream and butter to a boil, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of cheese. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and keep the sauce warm.
4. In a 9×13 casserole dish, start layering with 4 tortillas (cut to fit the bottom of the dish), followed by ground beef, cheese sauce, and tomato mixture. Repeat this process for 3 layers, ending with the cheese sauce on top.
5. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top of the entire casserole.
6. Cover the dish and bake it in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cover and let it cool for a bit.
7. Garnish each serving with sour cream and diced green onions. Say grace and enjoy your delicious Taco Lasagna!
