Taco Lasagna with Tortillas is an easy and delicious meal that comes together in under 60 minutes. No matter how busy you are, having a taco on the table before you get in the kitchen is a great idea. This meal is made with lean ground beef, jar salsa, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix. The result is an ultra-delicious meal that freezes well so you can microwave or heat up in 15 minutes. I like to serve this meal as an afternoon snack with a couple cold beers or a cup of hot tea.
It’s light and satisfying, without being too filling or filling too little. Best when eaten with a big salad ; however, it can be eaten alone as well. You may put your own variation on this dish as well. I have added fresh cilantro, red onion, and Mexican oregano on top along with
