How to cook deliciously - Taco Lasagna
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain and discard the grease. Add water and taco seasoning, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for two minutes. Stir in the drained and rinsed black beans and undrained Mexican-style diced tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Editor's Tip: Mexican-style tomatoes typically contain green chiles, chopped onions and spices. You can substitute a can of petite diced tomatoes in a pinch. After cooking, taste the meat mixture, and add extra spices and a spritz of lime juice as needed to create a robust flavor.
2. Stage
Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Place two tortillas into the dish. Spread half of the refried beans over the tortillas using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Sprinkle on half of the beef mixture and 1 cup of cheese. Repeat the layers once. Top the dish with the final two tortillas and the remaining cheese.
3. Stage
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the layers are heated through.
