Mexican Beef Tortilla Stack
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 500g ground beef mince
- 1 x 435g can of refried beans (I used Old El Paso brand)
- 1 x 35g taco seasoning powder sachet
- 4 ripe tomatoes diced
- 5 tortilla wraps
- Grated tasty cheese - 2 cups approx
- Ground paprika
Instructions
- Combine mince, beans, seasoning and tomatoes in slow cooker and mix well.
- Cook on low for approximately 4hrs.
- When complete it's time to assemble the tortilla stack.
- This can be done in an oven dish if you don't have a smaller slow cooker but I assembled mine directly into the bowl of a 3L slow cooker.
- Lay down one tortilla wrap.
- Top with 1/5 of meat mixture.
- Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of grated cheese.
- Lay another tortilla wrap over the top and press down.
- Top with 1/5 of meat mixutre and 1/3 cup grated cheese. Lay another wrap and continue this process until all used.
- On the final layer I topped with 2/3 cup of cheese for extra cheesy top.
- I then sprinkle a small amount of ground paprika over the cheese (it gives that browned appearance to cheese in slow cooking)
- Cover and cook on high for approx 45mins or until heated through and cheese melted.
- If you are doing this stage in the oven dish instead of the smaller slow cooker, I would bake in a moderate oven for approx 30mins or until heated through and cheese melted.
- Serve slices of the stack with fresh garden salad.

Turned out perfect!
This was soo yum! Its our new lasagna! Very easy & tasty!
Can you go without the beans?
If you wish 🙂
Could you substitute the 4 tomatoes with canned tomatoes? If yes would you say 1 or 2 cans?
I think one can would be most equal to the four tomatoes 🙂
Quick prolly weird question can u taste the bean flavour in the mince ? not a fan of refried beans byt am hopin i n kids may not notice it in mince sorry if silly questions looks really yum n thought ud ask before intry make thxs again
There is some taste of it yes so if you really don’t like it you may prefer to cook it without the beans?
However I do personally like it in the overall flavour combo 🙂
