                  Directions:
  1. Brown ground meat/turkey and onion; drain.
  2. Add taco seasoning and stir in refried beans.
  3. Mix soup and sour cream in a separate bowl.
  4. Spread 1/2 sour cream mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish.
  5. Tear up 3 tortillas and spread over sour cream mixture.
  6. Put 1/2 the meat bean mixture over that.
  7. Add a layer of cheese.
  8. Add hot sauce if you want spicy
  9. Repeat the layers.

This was easy for me to do.  I didn't have sour cream, so I decided to be brave and use cottage cheese and it still turned out!!! And the best thing, the kids LOVED it!  And hubby too. =)

I made this for a dinner party with friends over the weekend.  It was so easy and really good.  I'm proud of myself that I didn't screw it up!  It took longer to cook the bacon than I thought it would, so we were a few minutes late to the party.  lol
