Mexican Lasagna

When I first made this Mexican Lasagna years ago, my kids basically turned up their noses at first. “Are you crazy?! MEXICAN Lasagna?!”. “That sounds awful!”. “Can I have something else instead???”. These were just some of their lovely comments. Once I explained it was lots of yummy taco ingredients layered with tortillas they all felt much better

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• non stick cooking spray
• 2 12 oz cans green chile enchilada sauce
• 8-10 soft taco size tortillas (corn or flour) cut in half
• 1 can corn drained
• 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions

1. Cook the ground beef or turkey according to the directions on the taco seasoning packet. Let the meat come to room temperature.
2. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add a few spoonfuls of the green chile enchilada sauce and spread evenly.
3. Place 4 tortilla halves flat in the dish, cut side toward the outer edges of the pan. Arrange so they are in a single layer (it is ok if there are a few small spaces or gaps, or use additional tortilla pieces to fill gaps if needed). (Picture example in post above)
