Directions:

– Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

– Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

– Spread about 1/2 cup beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with 3 tortillas, overlapping as needed. Spread another 1/2 cup of beef mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup of Cheddar cheese over the beef. Finish with layers of remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and Cheddar cheese, respectively.

– Bake in preheated oven until heated throughout and the cheese is melted about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
