Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mexican Taco Lasagna
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 8-10 minutes until no longer pink. Stir occasionally and drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning to the cooked meat, mixing thoroughly. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, start layering with tortillas, followed by half of the meat mixture and a layer of cheese.
  4. Continue layering with more tortillas, meat, and cheese, finishing with tortillas topped with cheese.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for added flavor.
