mexican lasagna recipe

Forget that tired old noodle and sauce dish, and try this Mexican lasagna tonight! It's loaded with beef, beans, salsa, and cheese, and it's beyond delish.

Mexican Lasagna

beef

jar (16 ounces) mild salsa

water

(16 ounces) refried beans

(4 ounce) chopped green chiles

taco seasoning

salsa

lasagna noodles

sour cream

(2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

green onions, chopped

chopped,

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. If there appears to be a lot of excess moisture, carefully drain some away. A little grease is OK, as it adds flavor.

Then add the beans, chiles, taco seasoning, and hot salsa.

Stir until well combined, then spoon about 1/3 of the mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom.

Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the meat, then add a layer of pasta noodles.

Repeat twice, using the remaining meat, noodles, and sauce.

Mix the water and mild salsa in a small bowl, then pour it over the layered lasagna. (Do not add water if using cooked lasagna noodles.)

Cover the dish with foil and bake for one hour.

Remove the dish from the oven, remove the foil, then top the lasagna with sour cream, onions, black olives, and tomatoes.

Sprinkle on the remaining 1 cup of cheese, and bake uncovered for five more minutes.

Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the dish from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Top with taco fixings, and enjoy!

My simple recipe for Mexican Lasagna is certain to add some fun, flavorful excitement to your taco night. Plus, it’s ready in less than an hour!

Mexican Lasagna Recipe

beef ((675 grams))

yellow onion (chopped (240 grams))

garlic (finely chopped)

28 grams) envelope taco seasoning

tomatoes

green chiles

salt

black pepper

cheddar cheese ((450 grams))

(6-inch) corn tortillas ((468 grams))

cilantro

green onions (sliced)

Sour Cream

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up into small pieces, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just a few pink spots remain.

Add the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Add the taco seasoning, ¾ cup (180mL) water, black beans, tomatoes,  green chiles, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is steaming and the sauce coats the meat and vegetables. Remove from the heat.

Place 1 cup of the meat mixture in the bottom of the casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Lay 6 of the tortillas over top in a single layer, overlapping slightly. Spread about one-third of the remaining meat mixture in an even layer and sprinkle all over with one-third of the cheese. Repeat the tortilla, meat, and cheese layers two more times.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes more until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melty and lightly golden.

Let rest for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve pieces topped with diced tomatoes and sour cream.

This Mexican Lasagna is the perfect way to use up leftover carnitas.

The Best Mexican Lasagna recipe is made with layers of pasta, ground beef, refried beans, shredded cheese and alfredo sauce. A family favorite dinner!

The Best Mexican Lasagna

packet taco seasoning

can refried beans

jar mild salsa ((divided use))

lasagna noodles ((divided use))

alfredo sauce (or queso sauce) ((divided use))

Mexican blend shredded cheese ((divided use))

black olives,sliced green onions, taco sauce, sour cream

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound ground beef. Drain excess grease. Place cooked beef back into the skillet.

Over medium heat, add 1 cup water and 1 ounce packet taco seasoning and stir.

Then stir in 16 ounce can refried beans. Mixture will be very thick. Once refried beans have softened and mixture is combined, turn off heat.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spread about 1/4 cup salsa into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Place a single layer of lasagna noodles on top of salsa (about 3 noodles - depending on size of your oven-ready lasagna noodles).

Evenly spread 1/3 ground beef mixture on top of the noodles.

Then evenly spread 1/3 alfredo sauce on top of ground beef.

Next, dollop about 1/4 cup salsa on top.

Then sprinkle about 1/2 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese.

Continue these steps two more times (lasagna noodles, ground beef mixture, alfredo sauce, salsa and cheese.)

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 35-45 minutes.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to slice.

Slice and top individual servings with sliced black olives,sliced green onions, taco sauce, sour cream or whatever taco toppings you prefer!

could I mix in Mexican rice or put Mexican rice over the meat mixture as well

So so good! I wasn't sure about the alfredo but it totally works!

Made this for dinner last night.  I was so pleased with how quickly and easily it came together.  Huge hit here.  My husband has mentioned several times since how much he enjoyed it, too.  Thanks for all your great recipes!

Was wondering if wanted to make extra to freeze, would it be better to freeze before baking or after baking? Thanks Deborah

I have made 3 times, with Barilla gluten free lasagna. I did parboil the noodles the last 2 times. It is a brilliant recipe we all love it. Gets eaten too fast to make it into the freezer. Have put avocado on top.

I made this yesterday and it was delicious. My husband made me a recipe book and I have many of your recipes in it. I look forward to getting your emails.

We ate ourselves sick last night! So delicious! Wouldn't change a thing!
Thank you!

Ok, I made this for dinner tonight and the hubs and I almost ate ourselves sick it was so good!

I love to make foods like this and my whole family certainly enjoys them. :)  Your recipe looks wonderful!

You're so clever to come up with this amazing flavor combo.  We would LOVE it for sure.  Love those no-boil noodles too. So glad I saw this.  Pinning to make soon.
