- Place a layer of corn tortillas over the beef mixture, tearing them as needed to cover the space.
- Spoon more of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the lasagna is heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream on each portion and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes
- Cooking Time: If your crockpot runs hot, check the lasagna at the earlier end of the cooking range to prevent the edges from overcooking or burning.
- Serving: Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes after cooking. This will help it set, making it easier to cut and serve.
- Crockpot Size: This recipe is designed for a 6-quart Crockpot.
