Preheat the oven to 350°F.

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

Add the taco seasoning, oregano, garlic, and salt and cook for 1 minute.

Add the salsa and beans. Adjust seasonings to taste and remove from the heat.

Lightly grease a 9×13" baking dish. Place two large tortillas in a single layer, cutting in half to cover the bottom if necessary. Top with ⅓ of the meat and ⅓ of the cheese.

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

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through and the Cheddar has melted. Slice and serve.
