Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef

- 4–6 low-carb tortillas (depends on size and dish)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s halfway done.
- Add aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and cook until soft, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Season the meat: Add the taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Assemble the casserole:
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture.
- Place two low-carb tortillas on top.
- Add another layer of beef mixture, a bit of extra sauce, and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining meat mixture and a final layer of cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool & serve: Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, sliced avocado, or chopped cilantro if desired.
