Yummy Mexican “Lasagna”

I just made this for the first time and it was SO good! I am a total Mexican food junkie and this was so easy to make. It is a new favorite at our house. I got this recipe out of the Dinner Doctor recipe book. I love that book! It has the greatest foods in it!

Here is what you need:

1 lb. ground beef (lean is best)

1 jar chunky salsa (when I went to make mine, I realized I didn’t have much. I ended up subbing some of it for some taco seasoning)

6 corn tortillas (10 inch)

1 can (16 oz) refried beans

1 cup sour cream (I used more)

1 package (8 oz/2 cups) Mexican style cheese

Chopped fresh tomato (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cook ground beef in a skillet thoroughly. Stir in 1/2 cup of salsa. Or you can just use the taco seasoning.

3. Spread remaining salsa in the bottom of a 10 inch pie pan. Top it with 3 tortillas. Spread half of the beans over the tortillas, then half of the meat mixture, then 1/2 cup of the sour cream, then 1 cup of the cheese. Top with the remaining 3 tortillas and repeat the layers, ending with all but 1/4 cup of the remaining cheese. Cover the pan loosely with foil.

4. Bake until it is hot throughout and the cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and chopped tomato.
