Description

Taco Lasagna combines the flavors of traditional tacos with the comforting layers of lasagna, creating a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.


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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
