This Easy Mexican Lasagna combines the best of traditional lasagna with a zesty Mexican twist, making it a family favorite. The layers of tortillas, seasoned ground beef, and gooey cheese create a flavorful, hearty dish.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Ground beef
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Mexican spices (cumin, chili powder, paprika)
2 cups Enchilada sauce
12 small Corn tortillas
2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack)
1 cup Sour cream
For garnish: Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the Mexican spices and cook for another minute to release their flavors.
Pour in the enchilada sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, start layering: spread a thin layer of the meat mixture, followed by a layer of tortillas, then sprinkle cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and cilantro if desired.
