Easy Taco Lasagna

🌮 Easy Taco Lasagna

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained (optional)

1 jar (16 oz) salsa or taco sauce

8–10 flour tortillas (8-inch size)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican blend)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup sour cream (plus extra for serving)

Green onions or fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tomato & lettuce (optional, for serving

Instructions

1. Cook the meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.

Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions (usually adding ⅔ cup water and simmering).

Add black beans and corn if using, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

2. Prepare your baking dish

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Layer the lasagna

Spread 2–3 tablespoons of salsa/taco sauce on the bottom of the dish.

Place tortillas to cover the bottom (you may need to cut some to fit).

Spread ⅓ of the meat mixture over tortillas.

Add a thin layer of sour cream, then sprinkle with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

Repeat layers (tortillas → meat → sour cream → cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with tortillas topped generously with salsa/taco sauce and cheese.

4. Bake

Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve

Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with green onions, cilantro, lettuce, tomato, or extra sour cream.
