Quick and Easy Taco Lasagna

Mexican Dinner Recipes

1 lb. ground meat 1 packet taco seasoning (and water) 3/4 c shredded cheese 4 tortillas salsa, guacamole, sour cream for garnish

In a large skillet, brown ground meat, breaking up any large pieces. When meat is browned, add taco seasoning and however much water the packet directions call for. (It varies according to your brand.) Cook according to packet directions. When taco meat is prepared, add 1/4 c shredded cheese and stir to melt, coating the meat. Place one tortilla in a pie plate. Top with 1/2 c taco meat (or 1/4 of the meat). Top with a tortilla. Alternate layers of meat and tortillas, ending with meat. Spread 1/2 c shredded cheese on top. Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or until heated through. Slice into wedges and serve with your favorite taco fixings - chopped tomato, chunky salsa, guacamole, sour cream. A kid crowd-pleaser - and very easy and quick.
