Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup corn kernels, drained (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, and black beans. Mix thoroughly and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom. Lay two flour tortillas over the mixture to cover the bottom layer.
Spread another layer of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers (tortillas, beef mixture, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, chopped fresh cilantro, and green onions for garnish if desired.
