Ingredients
Beef Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion diced, small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 taco seasoning packet
- 1 can 14 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can 14 oz corn, drained
- 1 cup salsa
- ½ cup water
Other Layers:
- 6 flour tortilla or corn tortillas for a gluten-free version, large
- 2 cups Mexican blend cheese shredded
- 1 can 10 oz enchilada sauce
Toppings (Optional):
- sour cream
- cilantro chopped
- diced tomatoes
- jalapeño sliced
Instructions
Step No.1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Step No.2: Cook the Beef Mixture
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add onions and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, corn, salsa, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step No.3: Assemble the Layers
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place two tortillas over it, slightly overlapping. Spread ⅓ of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by ⅓ of the cheese. Repeat the layers twice, finishing with cheese on top.
Step No.4: Bake Until Bubbly
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step No.5: Rest and Serve
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, tomatoes, or jalapeños if desired.
Notes
- Tortilla Choice: Flour tortillas make softer layers, while corn tortillas add a traditional texture.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
- Freezing Tip: Freeze unbaked for up to 3 months, then bake straight from frozen at 375°F for 45-50 minutes.
- Chicken Mexican Lasagna: Swap ground beef for shredded rotisserie chicken.
- Vegetarian Option: Use extra beans and bell peppers instead of meat.
- Extra Spicy: Add chipotle peppers or extra hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Cheesy Upgrade: Mix cream cheese into the beef filling for a creamy texture.
- Low-Carb Version: Use low-carb tortillas or layer with thin zucchini slices instead.
