Description
A delicious twist on the classic lasagna, featuring layers of seasoned beef, tortillas, and a blend of cheeses, topped with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
- 10–12 small flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup sliced black olives, optional
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, for topping
- Diced tomatoes, for topping
- Sliced jalapeños, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in taco seasoning, salsa, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chiles. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture across the bottom of the baking dish. Place tortillas over the filling, overlapping slightly if necessary.
- Spread some sour cream over the tortillas, followed by another layer of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of both cheeses.
- Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
- Sprinkle with black olives and green onions if using.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until hot and bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Top with cilantro, tomatoes, jalapeños, and sour cream before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use corn tortillas and lightly toast them in a dry skillet before layering.
