Recipe | Mexican Lasagna


 Ingredients 
  • 1 pound ground beef (turkey would work too! I used venison)
  • 2 cups of your favorite salsa (I used Momma Theresa's, it's local and fab!!)
  • 16 oz refried beans
  • 15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce (I prefer green, so that's what I used)
  • 4 oz chopped green chilies
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 3 cups, divided, shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
  • In a large skillet, cook the meat over medium heat until no longer pink. 
  • Drain and then stir in the salsa, beans, sauce, chilies and taco seasoning.
  • Once heated through, spread about 1 cup of meat mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
  • Layer with two tortilla's, a third of the meat mixture and 1 cup of cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Top with remaining tortilla's and meat mixture.
  • Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with tortilla chips.
  • Bake another 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

This made a lot of leftovers, which I am personally enjoy cause it means easy lunches for me! It was really delicious and cheesy, which is pretty much all I need in a meal. Happy eating!

  1. I've made something pretty close to this but with actual lasagna noodles. I'll have to try it out with tortillas. I love all those flavors :)
