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!

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.
