Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) corn kernels, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10-12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges (for serving)
PREPARATION:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the Beef Mixture:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, salsa, chili powder, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Assemble the Lasagna:
Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place a layer of corn tortillas on top of the beef mixture, tearing them if needed to fit.
Spoon a layer of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of shredded cheese on top.
Bake the Lasagna:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Remove the foil from the baking dish and let the Mexican Lasagna cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges on the side.
