Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded, diced
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 lime, juice
10 flour tortillas
nonstick cooking oil spray
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups tortilla chips, crushed
1 ½ cups shredded monterey jack cheese
salsa, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking apart with your spoon, and mix into the other ingredients. Add the taco seasoning and the lime juice. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
On a cutting board, place the stack of tortillas. Cut off two round sides of the tortillas, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) wide middle section. Cut the middle section in half vertically.
Generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
Place the middle strips of tortilla in the bundt pan in a fanning pattern. Each tortillas strip should slightly overlap the previous strip. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas.
Spread half of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese.
Place a third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the ground beef mixture in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top of the cheese.
Place another third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the chips in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas. Spread the rest of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the Monterey Jack on top of the ground beef mixture. Place the rest of the tortillas on top of the cheese in a fanning pattern.
Bake for 45 minutes until crispy and browned.
Let cool for 20 minutes.
Place a plate on top of the bundt pan, and invert the ring onto the plate.

Enjoy!

Tips:

To ensure the taco ring's structural integrity, use fresh ground beef rather than pre-cooked beef.
Use a large baking dish, at least 9x13 inches, to accommodate the taco ring.
Press the wonton wrappers firmly into the baking dish to create a sturdy crust.
Bake the taco ring for 20-25 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the taco ring cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving, to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Conclusion:

The Crunchy Taco Ring is a delightful appetizer or main course that combines the flavors of a classic taco with the convenience of a casserole. It's easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. With its crispy wonton wrapper crust, flavorful taco filling, and melted cheese, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
