Taco Lasagna is a hearty fusion of classic tacos and traditional lasagna, layered with seasoned beef, tortillas, salsa, beans, and plenty of melted cheese. It’s an easy, family-friendly casserole that’s perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring until the beef is evenly coated.
  5. Mix in the salsa, black beans, and corn, then simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Place two tortillas over the filling, overlapping as needed.
  8. Spread a layer of the beef mixture over the tortillas, add spoonfuls of sour cream, and sprinkle with cheddar and Mexican cheese blend.
  9. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the remaining cheese on top.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  11. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lighter version.
  • Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for a more traditional taco flavor.
  • Add diced jalapeños, bell peppers, or olives for extra flavor.
  • Mix cream cheese into the filling for a creamier texture.
  • Use pepper jack cheese for added spice.
  • Top with avocado, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze baked or unbaked lasagna for up to 3 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
