Great recipe! I also sliced a big beefsteak tomato and laid the slices on the meat, covered in tortilla chips, then salsa & cheese. Baked a little longer and was fabulous!
Benjamin Fernandez
This was very good. I am going to make it again but increase the ingredients by at least half as it was “thin” but tasty. It needs either a smaller pan or increased amounts to get a truer “lasagna” result. Circling the plate with shredded lettuce & diced tomatoes make a lovely presentation.

tasty used hot salsa

Delish! My family loved it. I did add a layer of refried beans to it, but other than that it was perfect. It’s a keepie!

Added half a chopped onion ,mushrooms and asmall zucchini to the Taco meat mixture. Made 3 layers. Topped with salsa ,cheese, and added some mozzarella . Served sour cream on the top.Suggest a 375 oven 25 to 30 Minutes.

Christopher Cardenas
Turned out amazing. So easy too! Did add 1 cup frozen corn and black beans. Will definitely make again.

Easy weeknight meal! I have made this several times and am just barely getting around to reviewing it. I took the suggestion of other reviewers by spraying the baking dish with cooking spray, spreading a layer of refried beans on the first layer of tortillas plus adding more layers and more cheese. I also replaced the diced tomatoes with canned green chiles because having diced tomatoes and salsa would be too much tomato for me. Served with Mexican Rice on the side and sour cream & hot sauce on top!

I kept to the recipe except for having smaller serving sizes. I cut it up into 8 portions and I at one and my husband had 2 servings. Trying to keep our calories lower. Next time I will add greek yogurt on top with cilantro and extra salsa. I used fresh salsa in the recipe. It was light and delicious.

I made this as written, using the soft variety of corn tortillas. We found it neither dry, nor bland. It was delicious! Thank you for posting it!
Zachary Lindsey
This is a simple recipe and it’s very yummy. I added corn and peppers. Put plenty of cheese in the middle and on top. Delicious!
Richard Daniel
Made it just like the recipe calls and it was great!! Served it with lettuce, guacamole and tortilla chips.
Edwin Clark
Delicious! I substituted veggie crumbles for ground beef & made a layer of retried beans. I’ll be making this often!
Amber Ward
Loved loved loved! We greased the pan as others did. We also added cilantro in the meat and then on top of the casserole along with pico when it was done. Kids loved it as well and devoured the entire thing. Will absolutely make again!

I have made this several times in the past when I would go and watch sports with my friends. It never lasts long and I’ve never taken any extra home afterwards, huge crowd favorite.

To serve 4, I sautéed onions with 3/4 lb. ground turkey, mixing in 1/2 env. low-sodium Taco seasoning plus one can green enchilada sauce and 1/2 can Rotel tomatoes. Then added 1/2 can pinto beans. I sprayed Pam on a 2 1/2 qt. Oval baking dish before placing 3 corn tortillas on the bottom. Then layered 1/2 meat mixture. Next layer was a mix of 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 egg and 1/2 cup Mexican cheese. Repeated tortillas, meat mixture and finally more cheese. Spread sliced black olives on top, then baked 30 min. at 350 degrees. Hubby loved it.
Thomas Edwards
My picky husband and I both loved this. I did like so many others suggested, and sprayed the pan with cooking spray beforehand. I added Rotel diced tomatoes instead of plain tomatoes, and did add the refried beans as others suggested. Oh, and added a lot more cheese. I can’t rate this recipe as is, apparently, but we did love it as it ended up. Next time, I will probably add some corn or maybe even guacamole.

My family LOVED it! It was very tasty and I wil make it again. I tweeked a few things, I added onion and green pepper to the ground beef, and I also added another layer of corn tortillas, I lined the bottom layer with torillas, meat, salsa and cheeses, then another layer tortillas meat, salsa and cheeses, then topped with tortillas, salsa and cheeses. My husband prefers spicy food, so I also added jalepons to half of the Lasagna. I had sour cream with mine and we had salad as a side.

I thought I would have enough for my son but it was gone. Easy to make in one skillet.
