There are layers of seasoned beef, tortillas and lots of cheese!
Taco Lasagna is also a family friendly meal.
Here’s what you need to make Taco Lasagna:
- 95% lean ground beef
- Onion
- Garlic
- Taco seasoning
- Tortillas
- Salsa
- Reduced-fat Mexican cheese, shredded
I used Ole Xtreme high fiber tortillas because they’re only 1 point each. They’re usually my go-to tortilla.
You could also add some vegetables to the Taco Lasagna. Corn is a good option, black beans are great too.
Black beans are 0 points for blue and purple, if you follow green you would have to add in the points.
There are 3 layers to the Taco Lasagna. Each layer uses 1 1/4 tortilla. I used a square 8×8 baking dish so the circle tortillas needed to be cut up.
I cut each tortilla into four pieces. I put one piece in each of the corners of the baking dish, then used a fifth piece of tortilla for the center.
You can watch the video within this post to see exactly how I did it.
The first two layers of the Taco Lasagna are tortillas, salsa, seasoned beef and reduced-fat Mexican cheese.
For the first two layers I used 1 cup of the Mexican cheese, a half cup for each layer.
Once it was time for the final layer I did tortillas, salsa and one whole cup of Mexican cheese.
I didn’t want the top layer of tortillas to dry out so I covered them in plenty of cheese. 🙂
Of course you can eat the Taco Lasagna as it is when it comes out of the oven, or you can add cilantro, sour cream or even green onions. Whatever you like!
