Description
Taco Lasagna is a bold and satisfying fusion of tacos and lasagna, combining layers of seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, salsa, tortillas, and melted cheese for a comforting Tex-Mex twist.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
1 (16 oz) jar salsa
8 small flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in the black beans, corn, and salsa. Let it all simmer together for another 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, place 2 tortillas on the bottom to cover the surface.
- Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the final layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
Swap ground beef with turkey or shredded chicken for a lighter version.
Make it vegetarian by omitting meat and doubling the beans and corn.
Add diced vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition.
Use spicy salsa or jalapeños for more heat.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
