Taco Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 onion (chopped)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup water
• 4 oz green chilies (1 can)
• 15 flour tortillas (6-inch size)
• 16 oz salsa (divided)
• 1 cup sour cream (divided)
• 3 cup Mexican cheese blend (divided)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the 1/2 chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until softened.

4. 4

   Add 1 lb of ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink.

5. 5

   Add the packet of taco seasoning, 1/2 cup of water, and 4 oz of green chilies to the beef mixture.

6. 6

   Stir to combine and continue cooking until the liquid has thickened.

7. 7

   Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 5 flour tortillas across the bottom to cover it completely.

8. 8

   Spread 1/3 of the salsa (about 5.3 oz) over the tortillas.

9. 9

   Spread 1/2 of the cooked beef mixture over the salsa.

10. 10

    Spread 1/2 cup of sour cream over the beef layer.

11. 11

    Sprinkle 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend over the sour cream.

12. 12

    Repeat the layering process: add 5 more tortillas, another 1/3 of the salsa, the remaining half of the beef mixture, the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream, and another 1 cup of cheese.

13. 13

    Top with the final 5 tortillas, the remaining 1/3 of the salsa, and the final 1 cup of cheese.

14. 14

    Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

This recipe is great for feeding a crowd or for a Cinco de Mayo party. Some commenters suggest using corn tortillas instead of flour to avoid a 'soggy' texture, though the original recipe specifically calls for flour.
