• Spray a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray.

1. Cook the Beef:

1. Season the Beef:

• Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the skillet.

1. Prepare the Mixture:

• Stir in the seasoned beef mixture until well combined.

1. Assemble the Lasagna:

• Place 3 tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Top with 1/3 of the beef mixture.
• Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of tortillas on top.
• Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top layer of tortillas.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dish is hot and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

1. Serve:

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Serve the lasagna topped with chopped cilantro, guacamole, and extra sour cream, as desired.

Tips for Perfect Mexican Taco Lasagna:

1. Drain the Beef Well: Ensure you drain the grease from the cooked beef to avoid a greasy casserole.
2. Layer Evenly: Spread the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas for consistent layers.
3. Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a different flavor.
4. Customize Toppings: Add your favorite taco toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or shredded lettuce for extra texture and flavor.
