Ingredients
Scale

- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 (15 oz) can kidney or black beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ground Beef
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add both packets of taco seasoning to the beef and prepare according to the package instructions. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Lasagna
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Lay 2 tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
- Spread half of the taco-seasoned ground beef evenly over the tortillas.
- Add a layer of beans and sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.
- Repeat the layers: tortillas, beef, beans, and cheese. End with a final layer of tortillas topped with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 3: Bake
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
- Let the taco lasagna cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- Add diced green chilies or jalapeños for extra heat.
- Swap flour tortillas for corn tortillas for a gluten-free version.
- Try layering in additional ingredients like corn, diced tomatoes, or sautéed onions and peppers.
