Taco Lasagna image

I think I got the base for this recipe from "Quick Cooking" magazine by Taste of Home. I've modified the original to make it easier, faster, and a little spicier. It is my teenager's favorite meal.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, drained
1 (15 ounce) can Mexican chili beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
1 (12 ounce) package shredded cheese, can be mexican mix or any combo you like
8 fat free tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Brown the ground beef in a large saucepan.
  • Drain beef and add packet of taco seasoning and the drained green chilies, chili beans, and tomatoes.
  • Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Select cooking dish (s)- For one big lasanga use a 9x13 pyrex dish- Or use two smaller dishes so you can freeze one for later.
  • Spray dish (s) with cooking spray to keep food from sticking.
  • Put one layer of tortillas in the bottom of the dish- Two for the large dish or one for two smaller.
  • Spoon in about 1/3 of the meat mixture, 1/3 of the refried beans, and 1/4 of the cheese- If you really like cheese save more for the top--it makes the top prettier and cheesier.
  • Add another layer of tortillas and then repeat adding the mixture, refried beans, and cheese until you only have two tortillas and 1/4 cheese left.
  • Put the last two tortillas on the top and cover with remaining cheese.
  • Cover with foil and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
