Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 6 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (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-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom. Place two tortillas over the mixture, overlapping them as needed to cover the surface.
Spread a third of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by a third of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Repeat the layering process two more times: tortillas, beef mixture, and cheeses, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking 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 the taco lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro for garnish, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
