Mexican Lasagna
Mexican lasagna is a delicious twist on the classic Italian dish, combining layers of tortillas, seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, and salsa. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup salsa
- 8-10 small corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
- Sour cream, guacamole, or sliced avocado for serving (optional)
-
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, corn kernels, and salsa. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
- Arrange a layer of tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom.
- Spread half of the ground beef mixture over the layer of tortillas.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the ground beef mixture.
- Repeat the layers: another layer of tortillas, the remaining ground beef mixture, and the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove the Mexican lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired.
- Serve the Mexican lasagna hot, with sour cream, guacamole, or sliced avocado on the side if desired.
