- Start to assemble the lasagna by placing a tortilla in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Next, add a layer of beef, then a layer of cheese, and continue this process. Finish with a final tortilla topped with cheese.
- Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F / 176 degrees C for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Cook the meat before layering your lasagna.
- If you want a spicier version, add chopped jalapeno when you cook the beef. You could also add spicy pepper jack cheese.
- Use plain canned tomato sauce, not pizza or spaghetti sauce, as those often have Italian flavors and seasonings added.
- Divide the meat mixture into three parts so you finish with a tortilla layer. This will help your lasagna to hold its shape better and be easily cut into single servings.
- Top with shredded cheese and serve with your favorite taco toppings.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. It will hold together better when cutting.
- Make enough ingredients for two casseroles and freeze one for later.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
