Mexican Lasagna Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, beans, taco sauce, olives, corn and green chiles. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish. Cover with a layer of tortillas followed by more meat mixture, then a layer of cheese. Repeat tortilla, meat, cheese pattern until all the tortillas are used, ending with a layer of meat and cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.
  • Serve with sour cream, salsa, lettuce and tomato, if desired. Garnish with cilantro.
