Cheesy Taco Lasagna Casserole

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 3: Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Stir in salsa and black beans, then remove from heat.

Step 4: Place two tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, tearing to fit as needed.

Step 5: Spread one-third of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with one-third of the shredded cheese. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with cheese on top.

Step 6: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 7: Let rest for 5 minutes. Top with sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.
