01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 cup onion, chopped
03 - 1 ounce taco seasoning
04 - 16 ounces refried beans
05 - 1 lime
06 - ¼ cup cilantro, chopped

→ Cheese

10 - 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded

# Directions:

01 - Cook ground beef and chopped onion in a heavy pan until beef is fully cooked and onion is tender. Drain excess fat, then stir in refried beans and taco seasoning. Squeeze lime over the mixture, add chopped cilantro, and stir to combine. Set aside.
02 - Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
03 - In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream.
04 - Spoon a layer of the sour cream mixture into the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of tortillas, arranging flat sides along the edges and using halves to cover the middle (about 3 large tortillas). Spread a layer of the ground beef mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. Repeat layers, starting with sour cream mixture, tortillas, beef, and cheese. Finish with a final cheese layer.
05 - Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days if making ahead. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
06 - Bake uncovered for 20 minutes (30 minutes if refrigerated) until heated through. Let stand for 5–10 minutes before serving.
