Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until fully combined and thickened. Remove from heat.

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Layer the Casserole: Spread 1/3 of the creamy soup mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay 2 tortillas over the mixture (you may need to tear them to fit). Top with half of the seasoned ground beef mixture, half of the refried beans, 1/3 of the cheese, and a layer of salsa and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of the soup mixture and the remaining shredded cheese.

Bake the Casserole: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with optional toppings like chopped cilantro, avocado, or a dollop of extra sour cream.
