Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 1/2 cups chunky salsa
• 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
• 8 large flour tortillas

• 1 cup sour cream
• Fresh cilantro, jalapeños, green onions to serve

Instructions

1. Brown ground beef in a skillet over high heat. Drain excess fat.
2. Add taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and 1/2 cup salsa. Simmer 5 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
4. Layer: 2–3 tortillas, half the beef mixture, a few dollops of sour cream, 1/3 of the cheese.
5. Repeat layers. Finish with remaining tortillas, enchilada sauce, and a thick blanket of cheese.
6. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more until bubbly and golden.
7. Rest 5 minutes before cutting. Top generously with cilantro, jalapeños, and green onions.

Tips for the Best Mexican Lasagna

• Let it rest after baking — it cuts into neat slices and holds together much better
• Lightly char tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side to prevent sogginess
• Layer generously — more filling and more cheese is always the right call
• Make ahead: assemble, cover, refrigerate overnight, bake when ready
• Use a deep 9×13 dish — the layers stack up!

Serving Suggestions

• Top with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and extra sour cream
• Serve alongside Mexican rice and refried beans for a full spread
• Pair with a cold margarita or agua fresca
• Perfect for game days and potlucks — transport it in the baking dish
• Leftover slices reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer
