Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 can (14 oz) Diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 6 Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Remove from heat.
Place one tortilla in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the meat and bean mixture over the tortilla, followed by a layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process (tortilla, meat mixture, cheese) until you’ve used all the tortillas, ending with a final layer of meat mixture and cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the tortilla lasagna to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
