Mix in chili powder and jalapeno and saute 5 minutes. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Overlap 6 tortillas on bottom of prepared dish, covering completely. Spoon beef mixture, then beans, evenly over tortillas. Cover with remaining 6 tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over. Pour tomatoes with their juices over cheese.

I make this a lot. Easy and good.

1 pound ground beef cooked and drained
16 ounces cottage cheese
1 16 ounce can refried beans
1 package of ten flour tortillas
1 package taco seasoning
8 ounces colby cheese

Cook ground beef with taco seasoning per directions on package. In a 10 by 14 glass pan put one layer of tortillas in the bottom. Fill in corners with tortilla pieces. Spread ground taco meat in the bottom on top of tortilla. Top meat with another layer of tortillas. Spread cottage cheese on top of tortillas. Top cottage cheese with tortillas. Spread refried beans on top of the tortillas. Top with another layer of tortillas. Put colby cheese on top of the last layer. Stick 6 toothpicks into the lasagna at the corners and in the middle.

Cover with foil so the toothpicks keep the foil off of the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and remove foil. Bake another 15 minutes till cheese just starts to brown. Enjoy. This is better the second day. My kids love it.

Request: Super Easy Mexican Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 1 lb or so ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 (12 oz) can refried beans
  • 1 (8 oz or to taste) can tomato sauce
  • 1 package flour tortillas
  • 1 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brown ground beef with taco seasoning, refried beans, tomato sauce over medium heat for 5 min. Using 9 x 13 inch pan or smaller, place layer of flour tortillas on bottom of pan, top with meat mixture, then 1/3 cup cheese. Repeat the 3 layers 2-3 times.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. To make a prettier dish buy the Mission wraps from your local Walmart (or wherever you can get them). They come in red tomato and basil flour tortilla wraps. Stretch them out with the old fashioned white kind of wraps. They will love this dish and beg for more.
