Mexican Taco Lasagna

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup sliced green onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 18 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 (1.25 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix

Directions:

Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, then season with taco seasoning, garlic, cayenne pepper, chili powder and water. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Place 6 tortillas into the prepared baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the salsa on top of the tortillas. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture evenly over the salsa. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the green onions. Drop 1/2 of the sour cream randomly over the green onions. Top with 1/2 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layers. Top with 6 tortillas, spread with remaining salsa, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until cheeses are melted.
