For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet before layering.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
