Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground beef or chicken

  • 1 packet Taco seasoning
  • 6-8 Tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 medium Onion (chopped)
  • 1 can Refried beans
  • 1-2 Jalapeños (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Meat Filling:
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or chicken and cook until browned.
    Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for a few minutes.
    Stir in chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add salsa and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Layer the Taco Lasagna:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).Spread a thin layer of meat mixture at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
    Add a layer of tortillas, cutting them to fit or overlapping slightly.
    Spread refried beans on top of tortillas, followed by a layer of shredded cheese.
    Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
  • Bake the Taco Lasagna:
    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Let the lasagna sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Top with sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeños if desired.
