Take Your Taco Experience To The Lasagna Level

I love bringing pasta to potlucks because it’s easy to make and it can feed a large batch of people. I usually bring lasagna because it’s the classic favorite. You can never go wrong with lasagna. But this recipe gives a twist to the classic taste and I just had to try it. I brought this to a recent potluck I had with my friends. One taste and they were all clamoring for seconds. I wasn’t even able to get a plate of my own. It was gone in seconds.

The Southwestern flair to this definitely had them all hooked on the first bite.

 

Ingredients

1 pound Tyson ground beef

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

2/3 cup water

1 envelope McCormick taco seasoning

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes, undrained

6 Mission flour tortillas (8 inches)

1 can (16 ounces) refried beans

3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Sargento Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add water and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in black beans and tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Place two tortillas in a greased 13×9-in. baking dish. Spread with half of the refried beans and half of the beef mixture; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese.

Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
