I just had to share this amazing Taco Lasagna Recipe with you. Because, let’s be honest, taco day is every day in my world! How about you?

Okay, here’s a little secret: this isn’t actually a lasagna. It’s more like a taco casserole with layers of tortillas that I like to call a taco lasagna recipe. It may not make much sense, but trust me, it’s absolutely delicious. And I have to warn you, this Taco Lasagna Recipe is not for those watching their waistline. It’s pure comfort food, and it’s perfectly okay to indulge once in a while.

Ingredients:

  • 12-13 soft flour 6-inch tortillas
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 packets of taco seasoning
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced red onions
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped Jalapeño (optional)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 3 cups taco cheese or Mexican-style shredded cheese
  • 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • Sour cream, for garnish
  • Diced green onions, for garnish

Preparation:

  1. In a small bowl, combine red onions, green onions, Jalapeño pepper, tomatoes, and salt to taste. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and drain the grease. Add the taco seasoning and stir well.
  3. In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream and butter to a boil, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of cheese. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and keep the sauce warm.
  4. In a 9×13 casserole dish, start layering with 4 tortillas (cut to fit the bottom of the dish), followed by ground beef, cheese sauce, and tomato mixture. Repeat this process for 3 layers, ending with the cheese sauce on top.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top of the entire casserole.
  6. Cover the dish and bake it in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cover and let it cool for a bit.
  7. Garnish each serving with sour cream and diced green onions. Say grace and enjoy your delicious Taco Lasagna!
