Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then coarsely grate carrot using a box grater. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Roughly chop cilantro. Drain and rinse corn.

2
Cook beef mixture

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Break up beef into smaller pieces. Add carrots and half the corn (use all for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and no pink remains in beef, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add tomato sauce base and Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Remove the pan from heat, then stir in half the cheese.

3
Assemble tortilla stacks

Place 2 tortillas (4 tortillas for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet . Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup beef mixture, then spread into an even layer. Top with another tortilla and another 1/2 cup beef mixture, spread into an even layer. Top each stack with a tortilla. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese melts and tortillas are heated through, 5-7 min.

4
Make salsa

While tortilla stacks bake, add tomatoes, half the lime juice, half the cilantro, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

5
Make lime crema

Add sour cream, lime zest and remaining lime juice to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Cut tortilla stacks into quarters. Divide between plates, then top with lime crema and salsa. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
