A low-drama, high-reward Mexican casserole with tortillas, seasoned beef, beans, salsa, and plenty of melty cheese. Perfect for weeknights and leftovers.
Mexican lasagna is what happens when taco night and casserole night accidentally become best friends. It has all the stuff you actually want, like seasoned beef, creamy beans, saucy edges, and cheese that stretches just enough to make you feel like you did something impressive. But the method is pure weeknight energy: layer, bake, eat, high five yourself.
Instead of noodles, we use corn tortillas. They soak up flavor, hold their shape, and give you that cozy, slightly chewy bite that feels like enchiladas but stacks like lasagna. The sauce here is a simple mash-up of salsa and sour cream, which bakes into this tangy, creamy situation that keeps everything from drying out.
If you can brown meat and stack layers, you can make this. Also, tasting as you go is not only allowed, it is encouraged.
