Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning) taco seasoning
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained (optional)
• 2 cups salsa
• 6 flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella or Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream (for serving)
• 2 tbsp, chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add ground beef (or ground turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 5

Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, corn (if using), and 1 cup of salsa. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of salsa evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Step 7

Place a tortilla at the bottom of the dish. Spread a layer of the meat filling on top of the tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or Mexican-blend cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (tortilla, meat filling, and cheese) until all the ingredients are used. End with a tortilla layer on top, followed by the remaining shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions.

Step 11

Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Mexican Tortilla Lasagna!
