Mexican Taco Lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that combines the flavors of traditional Mexican tacos with the comforting layers of lasagna. Here’s a soulful recipe for you to enjoy:

Ingredients:

For the meat filling:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, diced (optional, for extra heat)
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (14 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 packet (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the lasagna layers:

• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

For the toppings:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup guacamole
• Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, and taco seasoning. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat filling on the bottom.
6. Place 4 corn tortillas on top of the meat filling, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom. Spread another layer of meat filling over the tortillas, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
7. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat filling and shredded cheese on top.
8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Once cooked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10. Serve the Mexican Taco Lasagna warm, garnished with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños if desired.

Enjoy .
