Easy Taco Lasagna is a layered Tex-Mex casserole combining seasoned ground beef, tortillas, salsa, beans, and cheese for a hearty, family-friendly dinner that’s quick to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa or enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of salsa or enchilada sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add black beans and corn, stir to combine, then remove from heat.
  6. Layer the bottom of the baking dish with tortillas, tearing as needed to fit.
  7. Spoon a layer of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then a layer of salsa, dollops of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of cheese.
  8. Repeat the layers (tortillas, meat, salsa, sour cream, cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use ground chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken, or plant-based meat for variation.
  • Swap black beans with refried or pinto beans.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier version.
  • Layer in bell peppers or spinach for extra vegetables.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate unbaked for up to 24 hours.
