Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 10-12 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Sliced jalapenos, for garnish (optional)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • Guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is softened.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, diced tomatoes, black beans, diced green chilies, and frozen corn kernels. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the salsa and sour cream until well combined.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the salsa-sour cream mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Arrange a layer of flour tortillas over the salsa-sour cream mixture, overlapping as needed to cover the bottom of the dish.
  7. Spread half of the beef mixture over the tortilla layer.
  8. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the beef mixture.
  9. Repeat the layers: tortillas, remaining beef mixture, and remaining shredded cheese.
  10. Top the lasagna with a final layer of tortillas, and spread the remaining salsa-sour cream mixture over the top.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Once baked, remove the Mexican Taco Lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  14. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced jalapenos, if desired.
  15. Serve the Mexican Taco Lasagna hot, with sour cream and guacamole on the side if desired.

This Mexican Taco Lasagna is a flavorful and satisfying twist on traditional lasagna, perfect for family dinners or gatherings with friends. Enjoy the delicious combination of taco-inspired flavors in every bite!
