MEXICAN LASAGNA!!!

Serves: 6 • Preparation: 20 min. • Cooking: 20 min.
  • 6 DEMPSTER’S® 100% Whole Wheat 7 in. Tortillas, halved
  • 1 lb (500 g) extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup (250 mL) water
  • 2 cups (500 mL) salsa
  • 1 (19 oz/796 mL) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (250 mL) corn niblets (frozen or canned)
  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded cheese
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) chopped green onions

PREHEAT oven to 350°F (180°C).

BROWN beef in skillet. DRAIN. STIR in taco seasoning and water. BRING to a boil, REDUCE heat and SIMMER for 10 min.. STIR in salsa, black beans and corn. REMOVE from heat.

PLACE half of meat mixture in an 8 x 8 inch (2 L) or 9 x 9 inch (2.5 L) baking dish. TOP with half of the tortillas, making a single layer by placing the cut, straight sides against the edges of the pan and overlapping the rounded edges. SPRINKLE with half the cheese. REPEAT layers and SPRINKLE with green onion.

BAKE uncovered in preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 15 to 20 min..


TIP
ADD ½ cup (125 mL) chopped fresh cilantro to the meat mixture for extra flavour.


This was delicious, I made it for some friends the other night and I think they all agreed. Quick, easy to make, and yummy.
Just an extra yummy tip I added sour cream and guacamole on the top once I served it on people's plates, just to add that extra Mexican taste.

    I just read a ton of posts because for some reason I haven't been on here forever...I guess I forgot you went private so it didn't show up on my feed. I loved looking through the posts of what you have been up to. You have so many great goals for this year and it sounds like you are already working on them so great job. This recipe looks yummy, I'll have to try it sometime!
