Taco Lasagna is a delicious fusion of Mexican and Italian cuisines, featuring layers of seasoned beef, beans, cheese, and tortillas baked into a hearty, flavorful casserole.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade equivalent)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa or enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 9 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until meat is browned. Drain excess grease.
  3. Add minced garlic, taco seasoning, salsa (or enchilada sauce), black beans, and corn. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until heated through.
  4. Place 3 tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, cutting to fit as needed.
  5. Spread a layer of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with cheese on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Letting the lasagna rest after baking helps the layers set and makes it easier to slice.
  • Use spicy salsa or add jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Substitute meat with lentils or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option.
  • Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
