Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated.

In a baking dish, lay down a foundation of tortillas, spoon half the beef over, then half the salsa con queso, and a generous amount of shredded cheese.

Repeat with another layer of tortillas, remaining beef, salsa con queso, and cheese. Finish with one final layer of tortillas topped with a sprinkle of cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let the Layered Taco Bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with avocado, cilantro, or sour cream if desired.
