Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the over to 350F/180C.
Step 2
Filling
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Step 4
Add the garlic and onion, and cook until translucent.
Step 5
Add the beef and cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned. Add the Taco Seasoning and pepper about halfway through browning the beef.
Step 6
Add the tomato passata, water and beans. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened but still very saucy. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Assemble & Bake
Step 8
Lay a tortilla in a pie dish (24 cm / 9 inch diameter). Use a slotted spoon to top with just under 1/2 the meat. Try to avoid using too much sauce so sort of "shake" each spoonful to drain out sauce.
Step 9
Top with another tortilla + torn/cut pieces of another tortilla to cover completely.
Step 10
Top with the remaining meat, again avoiding the sauce.
Step 11
Top with remaining tortillas, then pour over all the sauce (and any residual meat).
Step 12
Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. If you're worried about overspill, place it on a baking tray.
Step 13
Remove from the oven, cover with corn chips then scatter with cheese. Bake until the chips are a bit golden and the cheese is melted - 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 14
Serve, topped with Pico De Gallo and Sour Cream on the side, if using.
Step 15
Pico de Gallo
Step 16
Combine ingredients in a bowl. Toss and adjust salt/pepper to taste.
