Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can enchilada sauce
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 6 pieces flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 6-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Add the black beans, enchilada sauce, and diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture (about 1/2 cup) on the bottom of the dish.
Place two tortillas over the meat mixture to cover the bottom. You may need to cut the tortillas to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the remaining meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheese on top.
Repeat the layers two more times: tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese, ending with the cheese layer on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
