  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 16 oz can refried beans or 2 C. prepared refried beans
  • 15 oz can enchilada sauce or 2 1/3 cups homemade

  • 18 corn tortillas cut in half

Optional toppings:

Instructions

  • Drain off excess grease, then stir in contents of taco seasoning packet. Set aside.

You may then sprinkle on fresh cilantro and/or black olives if you wish before starting the next layer.
  • With the second half of ingredients, start the next layer as follows: tortillas, refried beans, enchilada sauce, beef and onion mixture, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes (optional fresh cilantro and/or black olives).
  • Top with a final layer that includes tortillas, a light layer of enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas have slightly crisped.
  • Allow lasagna to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with your choice of toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, fresh tomatoes, etc.
