Mexican Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Meat Mixture:

• 2 lbs ground beef

• 1 cup chopped onions

• 2 packets taco seasoning (follow package instructions)

• 1 can spicy refried beans

• 1 can mild refried beans

For the Layers:

• 6 large burrito-sized flour tortillas

• 2 cans corn (drained)

• 2 jars salsa (your favorite brand)

• 4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

For Baking:

• Cooking spray

• Aluminum foil

Instructions:

Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef. Break it up as it cooks.

• Season with steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.

• Once the meat starts browning, add chopped onions and continue cooking.

Step 2: Add Seasoning and Beans

• Stir in taco seasoning (follow packet instructions).

• Once fully cooked, turn off the heat and mix in refried beans while the meat is still hot. This will make spreading easier later.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

• Place a layer of tortillas at the bottom (trim if necessary to fit).

• Spread half of the beef and bean mixture over the tortillas.

• Add one can of drained corn evenly over the mixture.

• Pour one jar of salsa over the layer.

• Sprinkle almost 2 cups of shredded cheese over the salsa.

Step 4: Build the Second Layer

• Add another layer of tortillas.

• Spread the remaining beef and bean mixture.

• Add the second can of drained corn.

• Pour the second jar of salsa.

• Sprinkle the remaining 2+ cups of cheese evenly over the top.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

• Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.

• Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

• Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before slicing.

• Serve with sour cream, extra salsa, or guacamole on the side.

• Dig in and enjoy this cheesy, flavorful Mexican-inspired dish!
