This delicious and easy taco lasagna is the perfect comfort dish. If you are looking for a easy meal to make for Taco Tuesday, this is the recipe for you. This casserole is made with simple ingredients: tortillas, salsa, ground beef, beans, and cheese. I use chopped onions, chiles, and garlic for extra flavor. The seasonings I use on the beef is a homemade taco seasoning blend, but you are more than welcome to use a taco seasoning packet. I love how easy this dish is to put together, and it can be made the night before. This makes the perfect weeknight dinner. Also, a quick and easy weekend comfort dish for the family. Let’s get into this easy lasagna recipe.

1-2 8oz bags of Mexican Shredded Cheese

Directions
- Brown/cook ground beef in frying pan/skillet. I add my seasonings, plus chopped onions, chiles, and garlic while beef is cooking. Then I add about a tbsp of beef bouillon, and a few tbsps of cold water(if needed drain oil before adding beef seasoning), set beef to the side when done.
- Preheat oven to 375 Degrees
- In a baking dish, start by adding tortillas to bottom, then add beans( I used refried beans), next add salsa, then seasoned ground beef, and cheese ( spread ingredients all across tortillas). Repeat layers, then for last layer top with refried beans,salsa and cheese( should have 3 layers, about 4 tortillas for each layer).
