Mexican Taco Lasagna ....Maisonvogue's Own Recipe ..Delicious

This recipe is one of mine and Danny's favorites ...it's very easy to make and is just packed full of flavor and textures 

It's a very satisfying and comforting meal 

You can tweak the recipe to suit yourself

Ingredients
6 large tortillas cut in to strips
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning McCormicks
1 medium onion, diced
1 can refried beans (or a can of Black Beans)
1 1/2 cup cheddar or mexican blend cheese ( I used more and I used Canadian Cheddar)
3 small or medium tomatoes, diced (or a can of tomatoes)
4 tblsps tomato Paste
Black olives (optional)
As much Frozen sweet corn and peas as you like …could use canned I suppose
Sour cream
Shredded lettuce


Directions
  • Cook onions and beef in skillet, when done, drain off grease and stir in taco seasoning,
  • Add Tomato Paste, Black Olives, Frozen Sweet Corn and Peas 
  • Using 1 or 2 rectangular baking pans (depending on size), layer the following:
  • Cut tortillas into wide strips, lay in baking pan with straight edges on outside edges of pan
  • Use another tortilla to fill in gaps to create a solid tortilla layer
  • Spread a layer of refried beans on top of tortilla or Black Beans
  • Scoop in a layer of beef and onions mixture
  • Sprinkle with tomatoes 
  • Shred cheese on top 
  • Create another tortilla layer
  • Layer beans, meat and onions mixture, tomatoes,cheese again
  • Create a top tortilla layer and sprinkle with cheese
  • Bake lasagna at 350° F / 180º C for 30 - 45 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas start to crisp
  • Serve with cold sour cream, lettuce and extra veggies

You can leave out the olives or put them in ...this photo shows you with the olives in ...sometimes I just don't fancy olives so I leave them out 

Because there are only the two of us this recipe is rather large so I make two lasagna's with it in smaller dishes and I freeze one before I top it with cheese and put it in the oven

I then bring it out when we require it and let it defrost ..then top with cheese and pop it in the oven 

If you do this don't forget to use a dish that is freezer and oven proof ...never put the frozen lasagna in the oven as the dish will break when it hits the heat ...

Thanks for popping by

Happy cooking and Happy Days to you all
