Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.6667 cup water
- 1 can refried beans
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning mix, 2/3 cup of water, and stir well. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer two tortillas over the beans, overlapping them to cover the bottom completely.
Spread 1/3 of the cooked taco meat over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 cup of salsa, 1/3 of the cheddar cheese, and 1/3 of the Monterey Jack cheese.
Repeat the layering process (refried beans, tortillas, taco meat, salsa, cheese) two more times, finishing with a generous layer of both cheeses on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the taco lasagna rest for 10 minutes to set.
Spread the sour cream evenly over the top, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and jalapeño slices (if desired).
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your Incredible Taco Lasagna!
