Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners, this taco lasagna recipe combines the heartiness of taco meat with the comfort of lasagna, all layered in flour tortillas.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook the beef, pepper and onion over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain off any fat.
Add water and taco seasoning packets. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and then simmer the sauce, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in black beans and tomatoes (with juice). Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Place 2 tortillas in the bottom of the prepared pan. Break a third tortilla and piece it together in any holes to make as much of a complete layer of tortillas as possible.
Spread with half of the refried beans and half of the beef mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
Repeat layers (3 tortillas, remaining beans, remaining beef, 1 cup of cheese). Top with remaining tortillas and 2 cups cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. If you make this in advance and the meat mixture is cold, the lasagna may take an additional 15-20 minutes to bake.
Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, sliced avocado and fresh pico de gallo.
