Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 0.25 cup water
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
• 1.5 cups salsa
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup black olives, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked beef. Stir until combined, then simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of salsa (about 1/4 cup) on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place two flour tortillas on top of the salsa, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Spread half of the refried beans evenly over the tortillas, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture. Add 1/2 cup of salsa and 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: two tortillas, the remaining refried beans, the rest of the beef mixture, 1/2 cup of salsa, and another cup of cheese.

Step 8

Finish with the last two tortillas. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of salsa over the top, then sprinkle with any additional cheese if desired.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the Taco Lasagne rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with sour cream, chopped green onions, and black olives, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
