Mexican Taco Lasagna

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
3. Add extras: Stir in salsa, black beans, and corn if using. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to combine flavors.
4. Layer it up:
   • In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, start with a layer of tortillas (tear to fit if needed).
   • Add a layer of the meat mixture, then a generous handful of cheese.
   • Repeat layers (tortilla, meat, cheese) until ingredients are used up, ending with cheese on top.
5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
6. Cool and serve: Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Top with your favorite garnishes like sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, or avocado.

Tips & Variations

• Make it spicy: Add chopped jalapeños or use spicy salsa.
• Vegetarian version: Swap the meat for lentils or a plant-based ground meat alternative.
• Add rice: Mix in cooked rice for an extra filling, casserole-style twist.
• Meal prep: Assemble in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
