8 oz of thick chunky salsa (your choice mild or hot)

Spray a spring form (cheesecake pan) with cooking spray.

In a skillet Brown ground beef and onion and drain any excess grease.

Add taco seasonings and cook according to package directions.

Lay 1 tortilla in bottom of baking dish and spread 1/3 of the refried beans on it ,top with 1/3 of the meat and sprinkle on some cheese .

It’s yummy! I’ve been doing the same, with variations, for years. Having a large family, I used a 9 x 13 casserole pan, and just cut tortillas to fit the rectangular shape.
