Soft Taco Bake

This doesn't look nearly as appetizing as it tasted, but it's stupid easy to make and delicious.

To make this you'll need:
Ground beef
Refried beans
Chopped tomato with green chilies (canned)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Soft Taco shells
1/2 c Cheese sauce (like salsa con queso or Velveta)
Taco seasoning
Sour cream

Directions:
Brown the ground beef in a pan and add the taco seasoning with a little bit of aqua. Turn off heat and set aside. In a baking dish (preferably one you make lasagna in) take soft taco shells and place on the bottom of the pan. (I cut my shells so I could arrange the round shells to fit a rectangle dish).
Put in some ground beef (it won't cover every space). Use the refried beans and the canned tomatoes to fill in the space. Top with shredded cheese. Add a layer of taco shells, repeat. Pile that sh#t as high as you like or like me, until I run out of ingredients. Top the whole thing with the cheese sauce (not a lot - like 1/2 a cup). Cover in foil and bake at 350 for 30 min. Serve with sour cream (optional).

Also optional: For a kick you could top with hot pepper slices. Or shred some lettuce and add a little green garnish.
