Mexican lasagna
Today I’m sharing this super yummy dish: Mexican lasagna. My all time favorite food is Mexican. I could eat it every single night! So I decided to take one of my favorite recipes, taco soup, and turn it into lasagna! I used a lot of the same ingredients and it turned out so yummy. It has the such a great flavor! My hubs raved about it the whole night! Score!
Mexican lasagna
Ingredients:
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 green pepper (core removed and diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (core removed and diced)
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 can rotel
- 1 lb ground beef (could also use ground turkey or shredded chicken)
- 1 TB taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 can pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 can corn (drained)
- 2 cups shredded cheese
Optional toppings:
- Sour cream
- Olives
- Cilantro
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
2. Brown hamburger in a frying pan over medium high heat. Add in onions and peppers and cook for about 3 minutes. Next add in rotel and salsa and stir until combined. Cook for another 3 minutes and then remove from heat.
3. In your 9x13 pan layer 6 tortillas (they will overlap). Then sprinkle about 1/2 cup of cheese on the tortillas. Next layer half of the hamburger mixture and then half of the corn and beans. Add another 6 tortillas on top and repeat with the hamburger, beans and corn. Add the rest of the cheese on top.
4. Bake for 30 minutes
5. Top with sour cream, olives and cilantro.

WOW, Yummy, Tasty, Spicy. I like Mexican foods. This really looks awesome and I really want to try it. Coming Sunday I am going to try this in my Kitchen.
Nice post.

Keep Posting. :)
This looks delicious . . . Can’t wait to give it a try. Wish I had the ingredients on hand for tonight’s dinner. :)
I think I’ll add a layer of Refried Beans on the tortillas, and a layer of rice after the meat. The shredded chicken option sounds amazing.
That sounds yummy! I’ll have to try that version too. :D
Sounds very delicious! What is rotel? I can’t translate into Danish. Can you add en photo or describe it, please?
Hi Lone! Rotel is diced tomatoes with diced green chiles. You could add a can of each…or even fresh. :)
This definitely sounds like a recipe my family would love! Have you ever tried freezing this? If so, how did it turn out and what are the reheating instructions? Thank you!
I haven’t before, but it should work great frozen for 3-6 months. Just make sure to let it thaw for an hour before cooking. :)
i am in love with mexican food.will definitly try this.
It is really yummy, hope you enjoy it Cindy! :)
Made this tonight for the first time tonight. Super yum! Good job!
I made this tonight and it was really good. Used my own taco seasoning and salsa recipes instead of Rotel and peppers, and more cheese. I only had large corn tortillas and they worked just fine. Service with our fav toppings and a salad. Will make again. Will be a great tailgate food too. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your substitutions Ramona! I’m so glad you liked it! :)
