Taco Lasagna

Submitted by Beth Isola

  • 1 package flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Ground Chuck
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 Bell Pepper (your choice of color, red, green, etc.)
  • 1 package of Taco seasoning mix (reg or spicy)
  • Shredded Cheese
  • 1 large can of enchilada sauce

Brown the meat and mix in taco seasoning.  Spray a casserole dish with Pam and pour a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the dish.  Dip flour tortillas into the remaining sauce and layer in the bottom of the dish.  Add a layer of meat mixture and cheese.  Continue to layer until  all the  ingredients are gone.  If you have leftover sauce pour it in.   Bake at 350 until the top is brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Easy and simple.  You can add jalopeno peppers if you like a bit of a kick.  Also you can top the final layer with olives or tomatoes, whatever your gang likes.
