Looking For A Quick and Easy Family Dinner-Tacos!
The greatest thing about Taco Tuesday is that it never fails to come back around every single week. Our weekly culinary excursion to the south of the border works out great for my family. I have some picky eaters at the table but everyone here loves Mexican food. Not only that, but tacos are always super easy and quick to make! Gotta love it!
There are also several different ways you can do your tacos. You can make it with ground beef, chicken or even ground turkey. You can do hard tacos, soft tacos or nachos. If my husband and I are feeling healthy, we sometimes put all of our taco fixings on a bed of lettuce and it is delicious!
In my constant quest to discover all things taco, it was only a matter of time before it occurred to me to try out Taco Lasagna. It is easy to make, yummy to eat and you will always have some leftovers for the rest of week. Learning how to make a Taco Casserole wasn’t hard at all. With just a couple ingredients and a little prep, you’ll be diving into to a whole new kind of Taco Tuesday.
Taco Lasagna Recipe
This Taco Lasagna with Tortillas recipe turned out fantastic. I was worried that the tortillas at the bottom would get a little soggy with the tomatoes on the meat on top of them. But they really didn’t at all. I think the key is adding that layer of refried beans. It insulated the tortillas and kept them intact.
Just like a lot of recipes that I try to share on this page, you probably already have a large amount of these ingredients already in your kitchen. I love recipes like this that you don’t have to make any special trips to the store for.
I used the Mexican blend of shredded cheese but you can probably use any cheese you’d like. Just don’t forget the dollop of Sour Cream on the top! Enjoy!
