Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly coat your baking dish with non-stick spray so nothing sticks!

Step 2

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks, then drain off any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning to the meat, along with a splash of water as directed on the packet. Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes until thickened and flavorful.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the heavy cream and a generous pinch of Cajun seasoning. Stir until the mixture begins to bubble, then slowly mix in 2 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. This will become your creamy cheese sauce.

Step 5

Begin layering: Lay 3 to 4 tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish (tear them as needed for full coverage). Spoon over one third of the seasoned taco meat.

Step 6

Drizzle a third of the cheese sauce over the meat, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Repeat the layers (tortillas, taco meat, cheese sauce) two more times, finishing with a final layer of tortillas on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the last layer for a beautiful bubbling finish.

Step 9

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
