To make this casserole, I started by dumping some ground beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground beef while it was cooking.

Once the ground beef was almost fully cooked, I added some taco seasoning to the pan.

I stirred until all of the ground beef was coated in the seasoning.

Then I added some mild Rotel and mild chunky salsa to the pan.

I stirred well again.

Then I removed the pan from the heat.

I took 9 small flour tortillas and cut them in quarters.

Then I placed 1/3 of the tortilla pieces into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

I spooned half of the ground beef and salsa mixture on top of the tortilla pieces and spread it out evenly.

Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top of the meat.

Then I placed another 1/3 of the tortilla pieces on top of of the cheese.

Followed by the remaining half of the meat mixture.
