Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup salsa, your favorite variety
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Mix in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of salsa (about 2 tablespoons) on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place two tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping as needed to cover the surface.

Step 7

Spread one-third of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process two more times: tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese. End with a final layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 10

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 11

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
