Ingredients
1 pound ground beef, 1 packet taco seasoning, 1 cup salsa, 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional), 8 small flour or corn tortillas, 1 can refried beans, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning, salsa, and diced tomatoes if using. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with tortillas to cover the beef completely. Spread refried beans on top of the tortillas, followed by a generous layer of the beef mixture, and sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream. Serve with a side of guacamole or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
