Ingredients

  • *cooking spray
  • *2 tablespoons olive oil
  • *1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • *2 cups chopped multi-colored bell peppers
  • *2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
  • *1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • *1 ¼ pounds ground beef (85% lean)
  • *1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • *¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • *½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • *10 flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • *2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • *2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
  • *2 cups nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips (such as Doritos®)
  • *1 cup salsa, or to taste
  • *½ cup sour cream, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly grease a Bundt cake mold with cooking spray.

Step 2

Warm some olive oil in a big nonstick pan set to medium temperature. Toss in the onion, garlic, and bell peppers, sautéing frequently for around 8 minutes until they become tender. Mix in the green chiles and tomatoes, cooking and stirring for roughly 2 minutes until the moisture is gone.

Step 3

Mix in the beef, salt, and taco spices. Cook for about 8 minutes while stirring and mashing the meat with a spoon until no pink remains. Take it off the heat, mix in the cilantro, and allow it to sit uncovered at room temperature while you prepare the tortillas.

Step 4

Lay the tortillas out on a cutting surface. Slice each tortilla into four vertical strips, each measuring roughly 2 1/2 inches across. Do this for all of your tortillas.

Step 5

Position the straight-edged middle tortilla strips inside the Bundt pan, overlapping them slightly to create a fan-like design. Distribute 1 cup of Cheddar and 1/2 cup of pepper Jack cheese over the tortillas. Add a layer consisting of half the beef filling.

Step 6

Layer one-third of the rounded-edge tortilla pieces over the meat mixture to create a cover, allowing them to overlap. Add 1 cup of pepper Jack cheese and the nacho-flavored tortilla chips on top.

Step 7

Add another layer using one-third of the rounded-edge tortillas, then cover with the rest of the meat. Top with the remaining Cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses. Finish by using the final rounded-edge tortilla pieces to cover the cheese.

Step 8

Bake in your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is crispy and golden. Take it out and let it sit for 15 minutes. Place a platter over the top of the Bundt pan and carefully flip the entire thing over to unmold the ring.

Step 9

Cut into portions and provide with sides of sour cream and salsa.
