It can be loaded up with toppings for more flavor. My favorites are chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, black olives, and sliced pickled jalapeno peppers.

Mexican Lasagna Recipe Tips

You can use any size flour tortillas, just make sure you get full coverage in the pan for each layer. Tear a tortilla to fill in any gaps.

Ground turkey or cooked, shredded chicken can be used instead of ground beef.

Can be assembled up to 1 day in advance. Just add about 10 minutes to the baking time.

Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and the layers will hold together better.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Ingredients

Equipment 9x13-inch baking dish, Large Nonstick Skillet

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13-inch pan.

  2. 2

    Brown ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the onion when the beef is about half cooked.

  3. 3

    Add taco seasoning and water and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in green chiles, refried beans and corn and remove from heat. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Stir together the sour cream and chili powder in a bowl.

  6. 6

    Arrange 4 tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish. I lay 3 of them whole and then break the 4th one into pieces to fill in the gaps.

  7. 7

    Spread 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the tortillas. Spread 1/3 of the sour cream mixture on top, followed by 1/3 of the salsa. Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.

  8. 8

    Repeat layer 2 times but do not put on the last layer of cheese.

  9. 9

    Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

  10. 10

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of cheese and bake for 10 more minutes.

  11. 11

    Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and then serve with toppings.
