Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes (or tomatoes with green chilies)
- 3 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
- 2 flour tortillas soft taco size
- 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
- 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes chopped
- fresh cilantro or parsley leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and coat a 10-inch skillet with cooking spray; set aside.
- In another large skillet, saute the ground meat and chopped onions over medium-high heat until cooked through; about 10 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and garlic. Then add the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated.
- Spoon 1/3 of the meat mixture into the prepared skillet. Place a flour tortilla on top of the taco meat. Then carefully dollop and spread a layer of refried beans over the tortilla and 1/3 of the meat mixture. Top another tortilla, remaining refried beans, and taco meat. Sprinkle corn over the top.
- Bake the lasagna for 20 minutes before removing the skillet from the oven. Add shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper if desired. Bake for 10 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped cherry tomatoes and parsley or cilantro.
