We tried a new
recipe Sunday and I'll admit, it was good, but it is probably not going to be
one of my favorites. My girls, however,
absolutely loved it. And it made the
house smell quite wonderful while it baked in the oven.
Taco Lasagna
1 lb. lean ground
beef
1 15oz. can tomato
sauce
1 15oz. can diced
tomatoes
1 15oz. can whole
kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 sm. can sliced
olives
1 envelope taco
seasoning
1 small onion,
diced
1 box lasagna
noodles. cooked and drained
2 cups Monterey Jack
or cheddar cheese
In a large pan
brown ground beef and onions, remove fat.
Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, corn, beans and taco seasoning. Stir well and simmer on low heat for 20
minutes.
Meanwhile oil a 9" X
13" baking dish. Line the bottom of
the pan with a layer lasagna noodles.
Place a layer of the meat mixture over the noodles, sprinkle with
cheese.
Repeat until two more
times. Add a final layer with the
remaining noodles and meat mixture.
Cover with remaining cheese and the sliced olives.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for one
hour at 400°. Remove and allow to sit 15
minutes before serving. Serve with sour
cream and guacamole, if desired.
This recipe is
pretty simple and it makes a lot of lasagna.
It also reheats nicely and would freeze well too. To be honest I think I'd enjoy this one more
if I used corn tortillas instead of pasta, but that is me. Of course, then it wouldn't be a lasagna now,
would it?
If you make it with tortillas instead of pasta, it's Mexican lasagna - we make it a lot and love it. :-)

I think I'd like it better with tortillas, but it was better as leftovers, surprisingly.
DeleteI make something similiar, minus the pasta, using broken corn tortilla chips. Let me know if you'd like the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI would love it! Thanks!
DeleteThat looks delicious~
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't too bad :)
DeleteYum! That does look good. I have made something similar with tortillas. I never thought about using noodles instead.
ReplyDeleteWe've been working on the leftovers and I am liking it more. :)
