🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
  • Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.

3️⃣ Warm the Beans:

  • In a small saucepan or microwave, warm the refried beans for easier spreading.

4️⃣ Assemble the Taco Lasagna:

  • Place a tortilla on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a thin layer of refried beans over the tortilla, followed by a layer of the taco meat, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the layers (tortilla, beans, meat, cheese) until all the ingredients are used, ending with a tortilla topped generously with cheese.

5️⃣ Bake:

  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6️⃣ Cool & Garnish:

  • Let the lasagna cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado.
