Ingredients
For the Beef Mixture:
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (or 2 tablespoons) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
For Layering:
- 12 small flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sliced jalapeños and extra sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, cooking until meat is browned and onion is soft. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer until thickened. Stir in beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- Layer the Lasagna: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer 4 tortillas on the bottom, spread half of the beef mixture, sprinkle with cheese. Repeat layering. Top with the last layer of tortillas, spread sour cream, sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeños, and sour cream before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute shredded chicken for beef or add sautéed bell peppers for extra veggies.
- Make ahead and refrigerate—just bake an extra 10 minutes if chilled.
- Serve with salsa and guacamole on the side.
