  • 10 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Stack 10 flour tortillas on top of each other and cut the stack into 4 equal sections.
  • Grease a bundt pan with cooking spray and line the pan with the rectangular tortilla strips in a fanned pattern so that they overlap.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the tortilla strips in the bundt pan.
  • For the taco meat, heat some olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Add the vegetables and seasonings to the pan, cook for 5-10 minutes, and then stir in the lime juice.
  • Spread half of the taco meat over the cheddar cheese in the bundt pan and top with a layer of rounded tortilla strips. Continue to layer in the following order: Monterey Jack cheese, tortilla chips, rounded tortilla strips, cheddar cheese, taco meat, Monterey Jack cheese, rounded tortilla strips.
