Mexican Taco Lasagna
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 8-10 corn tortillas (or flour, if preferred)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup salsa
- Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Meat:
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of salsa on the bottom.
- Place a layer of corn tortillas over the salsa (you can cut them to fit).
- Add half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of cheese.
- Repeat the layers: tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese.
- Finish with a final layer of tortillas, topped with salsa and the remaining cheese.
- Bake:
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or jalapeños.
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the meat mixture.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare this lasagna in advance and refrigerate it. Just add a bit more baking time if cooking from cold.
Enjoy your delicious Mexican Taco Lasagna!
