This is my favorite go to dinner! You can totally customize this to your family. Now back when we were poor college students I had this at a friend's and totally changed it. Hers was just meat and salsa mine is a bit different. I added more things so I could use less meat since meat was expensive. So here is my Taco Lasagna-It is all the ingredients of tacos but layered like lasagna.
Flour tortillas (A friend of mine uses corn because they like corn more than flour...its up to you)
Taco Seasoned cooked 1/2- 1 lb. ground beef ( or chicken or turkey. or no meat if you are in the mood I would just add like some red or black beans with taco seasoning for protein)
2 cans (or 1) of refined beans
1 C cooked 5 minute rice
jar of salsa
1 can corn
1 can black olives
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
shredded cheese (cheddar or mexican blend)
sour cream and/or ranch
Preheat oven to 350
So you lay down 2 flour tortillas in a 9X13 (or 1 in a 9X9) and put a layer of beans and meat and salsa. I use like 1/2 to 1/3 of a can of beans each layer and salsa -just do it to taste and your heat liking.
Do another layer of tortillas and then some more beans and layer the rice and salsa. Another layer of tortillas and beans then some more meat and corn.
As you can see its REALLY easy and you can do it to your taste. You can put some cheese on each layer if you choose. Cover with foil and bake for 20 min. Take off the foil and cheese on top and make until cheese is melted and slightly brown.
Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives and sour cream and ranch.
If you want to be extra ambitious make your own seasoning. (I do because there is something in the packaged ones that give Keely bad gas) Just use Chili powder, onion and garlic powder, and some cumin if you have it
If you have any questions email or call me and I'll try and clarify (I was doing this one handed while nursing)
