Open 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes and do not drain them.

Drain excess grease from the ground beef mixture using paper towels.

Add 1/4 cup of water to the ground beef mixture.

Add 6 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the ground beef mixture and stir.

Add the drained corn and both cans of Rotel tomatoes to the skillet and mix well.

Simmer the mixture for about 3 minutes to combine flavors.

In a 9 by 13 baking dish, add half a jar (about 8 oz) of salsa to the bottom and spread it around.

Cut flour tortillas in half and line the baking dish with them, placing the flat edge against the dish.

Add 1/3 of the meat mixture on top of the tortillas and smooth it out.

Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese blend over the meat mixture.

Repeat the layering process with another layer of tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese.

For the final layer, add the remaining meat mixture on top and smooth it out.

Top with the remaining cheese blend.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
