*Steps

Preheat oven 220°C (425°F).

In skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Cook the ground beef for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it has lost its pink color. Add taco seasonings and salsa, then stir.

Spray a small 24 cm x 33 cm (9.5 in. x 13 in.) baking sheet with cooking spray. Place four tortillas on the baking sheet, overlapping them and leaving about half of the tortillas overhanging the sides. Place another tortilla in the center of the baking sheet to completely cover the bottom.

Top with ground beef mixture, then cheese. Place the last tortilla in the center of the baking sheet, over the filling. Fold the overhanging tortillas towards the center of the baking sheet. Cover with another baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into eight rectangles.

Enjoy !
