Easy Taco Lasagna

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This easy taco lasagna is such a fun twist on traditional lasagna and tacos. It truly is a family favorite at my house.

The ingredients are so simple that I usually have most of them on hand. So, I wind up making this often, especially on busy weeknights.

It's such an easy recipe to put together and It's also one of those rare ones that we can all enjoy together.

With two little boys and a picky husband, recipes like this one that we all love are lifesavers for me.

It makes perfect sense, though if you think about it. Tacos and lasagna are both two of the most delicious food items.

Whoever had the wonderful idea to put these two recipes together is truly a hero in my eyes. It's nothing short of genius.

.I also love that you can add whatever toppings you'd like. It's great for when you're feeding a crowd because everyones portion can be customizable.

This is a meal that everyone will enjoy and sure to make it onto your dinner recipe rotation.

I hope. you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Taco Lasagna Variations

I like this recipe made just as it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you'd like to.

• Meat- ground turkey or chicken would work here
• Cheese-Any kind of shredded cheese, or shredded cheese blend would be ok to use here. Just be sure to shred the cheese yourself because its going to melt way better that way.
• Beans- Black or kidney beans would both be great choices for this recipe.
• Spicy- To add a little heat to this recipe, try using Hot & Spicy taco seasoning packets or a spicier cheese like pepper jack.

Easy Taco Lasagna Ingredients

• Flour tortillas
• Ground beef
• Taco seasoning packets
• Black Beans, rinsed & drained
• Cheddar Cheese, hand shredded
• .Toppings- Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and sour cream (optional)

Instructions:

First, make the ground beef according to the directions on the back of the taco seasoning packet but use two packets for one and a half pounds of ground beef.

Now, spray a 9” x 13” baking dish with cooking spray and put down a single layer of tortillas. If you're using small instead of medium sized tortillas, you can rip one in half to fill in the gaps.

Next add half of the beans and spread it evenly over the tortillas.

Then, add half of the seasoned ground beef.

Then, top that with about half of the shredded cheese.

After that, do another layer of tortillas, seasoned beef, beans and cheese.

Finish the top and final layer with tortillas and the rest of the shredded cheese.

Place it in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Finally let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Add whatever toppings you’d like and enjoy!
