Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 0.333 cup water
- 9 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed black beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups salsa
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) sour cream
- 0.25 cup (optional, for garnish) chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well to coat the beef. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Place 3 tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping to cover the surface.
Spread 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn, 1/3 of the salsa, and 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process two more times: tortillas, beef mixture, black beans, corn, salsa, and cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt and lightly brown the cheese.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy your Easy Mexican Lasagna!
