Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, pepper and onion over medium-high heat until ground beef is browned and vegetables are tender.

Add taco seasoning, oregano and salt and cook 1 minute.

Add salsa and beans and remove from the heat.

Place two large tortillas (cutting one in half to cover the bottom as necessary), one on top of the other, in the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Top with ⅓ of the meat and ⅓ of the cheese.

Repeat layers twice for three layers: two tortillas (cut to fit as necessary), ⅓ ground beef, ⅓ cup cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Slice and serve.
