Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and mix the cooked beef with the enchilada sauce, water, and taco seasoning. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the ROTEL diced tomatoes and green chilies with the cream of mushroom soup. Stir in 2 cups of the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
  4. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer corn tortillas, followed by half of the beef mixture, and half of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers finishing with tortillas on top.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once cooking is complete, lift the lid and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with diced avocado and cilantro.
