What You Need To Make This Mexican Taco Lasagna Recipe?

Ground Beef: For the ground beef it’s best to use 1 lb. Of high-quality beef to ensure the best flavor. If you’re looking for a healthier option lean ground beef can be used instead.

Mexican Blend Cheese: When it comes to Mexican blend cheese you can typically find a mix of Monterey Jack, cheddar, Asadero and Queso Quesadilla. If you can’t find a shredded blend feel free to mix and shred your own combination of these cheeses. Around ½ cup should be sufficient.

Chopped Tomatoes in Juice: To add moisture and depth of flavor to the dish canned chopped tomatoes in juice work well. The right amount would be one 14 oz. can. If you want a bit of zest to consider using canned tomatoes with green chilies.

Tomato or Tomatillo Salsa: For that tangy kick in your lasagna include about a cup of tomato or tomatillo salsa. Tomatillo salsa will give it a fruity flavor that pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients.

Taco Seasoning Mix: To achieve the taco flavor in the lasagna use one package (about 1 oz.) of your taco seasoning mix. If you prefer spicy food feel free to add a bit more according to your taste preferences.

Soft Corn Tortillas: For that grainy texture in your lasagna opt for corn tortillas. You’ll require 10 tortillas each, with a diameter of 6 inches. It’s important to select soft tortillas as they can absorb flavors effectively and yield the best texture after baking.
