Ingredients
• 1 cup sliced green onion.
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grab a large deep skillet and cook the beef on medium-high for 10–15 minutes.
• Once the beef is evenly browned, drain the excess fluids.
• Add the taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic, and cayenne.
• Add the water, drop the heat to low, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
• Spray the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Put 6 tortillas in the baking dish and spread a third of the salsa on top.
• Then, spread half of the meat mixture on top of the salsa layer.
• Add half of the green onions and half of the sour cream.
• Add half of both kinds of cheese and repeat the previous steps for the next layer.
