Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Chop the tomato, onion, and lettuce. Rinse the lettuce in a salad spinner to remove excess water.

Dice the onion for mixing with the ground beef and set aside some for garnish.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and add the chopped onion.

Add 1.5 pounds of ground beef to the pan with the onions and cook until browned and onions are soft.

Drain the grease from the cooked beef and onions.

Add taco seasoning to the beef mixture (1 packet for 1 pound of beef, or adjust based on preference) and add about 2/3 cup of water. Cook until the water evaporates and the meat is well-seasoned.

Grease a 9x13 inch pan and layer the large flour tortillas to form a base, ensuring they overlap to prevent spillage.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the tortillas (about 1.5 cups or to taste).

Add chopped tomatoes on top of the cheese.

Mix about 0.5 cups of sour cream with 3 tablespoons of water to thin it out, then drizzle it over the tomatoes and cheese.

Add any remaining toppings like diced green onion and lettuce for garnish.
