Instructions

Add the ground beef to a pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink. Drain.
Chop the green onions and cilantro.
In a bowl, combine everything except tortillas, cheese, and salsa.
Pour a little bit of salsa on the bottom of a 9x13 pan or a half sheet foil pan. Place a layer of tortillas over the salsa. You may have to tear and rearrange them a bit to get a layer that goes to the edges and doesn’t overlap too much. Top with half the beef mixture. Top with half the cheese.
For the second layer, go in this order: Tortillas, beef mixture, salsa, cheese.
Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. Will take 30-45 minutes from room temperature. Will take about an hour from frozen.
