This recipe came from a Campbell's Tomato Soup Label. I have made it many times, but I do it on the stove top an only use a couple of flour tortillas. Very good stick to the ribs recipe.

Hi there! This recipe was sent into us from a viewer and we gave it a try! You can definitely put your own twist on it by adding sliced olives or green chilis! Yum!

The hubs made this for dinner tonight! It was delicious! It was also quick! So ,very good for a weeknight. I put the ingredients in Myfitnesspal.com and the calorie count wasn't bad either. We had it with a side of caesar salad. Highly recommend it!

First time making a recipe, I always go BY the recipe before trying something different. Only thing I might change next time is to use corn tortillas rather than wheat. Pondering oven baking the tortillas first, THEN crunching them rather than cutting to inch pieces. In the dish they'd still be soft, but some on the top could add some crunch!

if you leave out the soup do you also leave out the milk?

Hi there! Yes, if you choose to leave out the soup, you would also need to leave out the milk. Enjoy!

Added taco seasoning and a 4-oz can of mild Hatch diced green chilis, jarred sofrito for the soup, and corn chips for the tortillas.

I also used hard taco shells, added taco seasoning mix to the drained ground beef, used 16 oz jar of salsa instead of the soup, and used 2 cups of shredded Cheddar. The family all loved it!

This is better with tortilla chips, left whole, and medium or hot salsa which I double and leave out the soup. Taco seasoning mix helps kick up the meat's flavor. After baking, we top individual servings with lettuce, tomato, more cheese, and sour cream. Not tacos, but all the taste of them!

This was a hit with the family! I added taco seasoning to the beef and used a 16 oz jar of salsa and omitted the tomato soup. I used 2 cups of cheese and topped with sliced olives. Even better the next day reheated!!!!!!! Such a quick weeknight meal! YUMMY!

This is way too heavy on the tortillas. Next time I'm going to use corn chips, and add chopped olives and green chilies to it, and add taco seasoning to the ground beef. Other than that, it was pretty good!

I was happy with this recipe, but next time I will use hard com taco shells to add a bit of crunch to it.

I tried this a couple of weeks ago and it turned out well! I used less cheese than indicated when I baked it because I have dairy allergies, but my boyfriend put more cheese on what he dished out and enjoyed it just as well. I used tomato soup and salsa and enjoyed the extra tomato flavor. I also added extra corn tortilla pieces to help balance out the amount of beef used. Thanks for a great recipe!

I prepared this with the flour tortillas. I cut tortillas three together, in squares. They stuck together and we thought was very good. Will fix it again.

I suggest corn tortillas over flour, because flour turns out doughy every time. Besides, corn is the original and works great with baked dishes like enchiladas. So many restaurants put them together and throw them in front of you with a little sauce on top. Not the same ... ever! Better baked.

it looks & sounds so.... good. From what I've heard from these comments, I'm gonna omit the tomato soup I'm gonna add some salsa & to seasoning mix. Can't wait to try it. Can I substitute the tortilla shells for nacho cheese Doritos.

yes you can, leave them whole, don't crush.... I have done it a few time with the nacho and the taco flavor...

We are going to use Rotel Hot Diced Tomatoes and Chilies. Sounds good enough to experiment with...lol. Thanks for the previous comments on this dish.

Too bland the way it is. Zip it up with a package of taco seasoning and I like to add Southwest style Mexicorn even if it is more like a tamale pie. Tastes better and adds more texture.

This has got to be a good recipe. Plan to make it soon. Thanks Mr. Food!!

I think it needs a package of Taco seasoning. If you put corn, onions and bell peppers in, you are almost making Tamale pie. Not Taco bake. Just my thought on it.

They usually do type in the calorie, fat grams, etc. Don't know why they didn't for this one.

OK not quite tacos, but a good Mexi-recipe with some modifications to give it some zip. I added about 1/3 cup each of cut corn, chopped onions, and chopped green pepper. Also about 1/2 teaspoon chili power and some hot pepper. Used a 4-cheese Mexican blend. Served topped with chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce, sour cream, and more picante sauce.
