•

•
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray.
2
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and green chiles; cook, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
3
Add ground beef, taco seasoning, and salt; cook, stirring often and using the back of the spoon to break apart the meat, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cilantro. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, while preparing the tortillas.
4
Arrange tortillas on a cutting board. Cut tortilla into 4 vertical pieces (about 2 1/2 inches wide per piece). Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5
Arrange the middle strips of the tortillas (the ones without the rounded edges) around the Bundt pan, slightly overlapping the pieces to create a fanning pattern and line the pan. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of the pepper Jack cheese on top of the tortillas. Top evenly with half of the ground beef mixture.
6
Lay 1/3 of the tortillas with the rounded edges over the ground beef mixture to cover (they will overlap). Top with 1 cup of the pepper Jack cheese and nacho-cheese flavored chips.
7
Lay another 1/3 of the tortillas with the rounded edges over the chips, and top with remaining ground beef mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese. Use remaining tortillas with rounded edges to cover the cheese.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until golden-brown and crispy, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool for 15 minutes. Working carefully, place a plate or serving platter on top of Bundt pan. Flip pan to invert the ring onto the plate.
