Directions
Taco Casserole (Mexican Lasagna), Delicious tex mex flavors without the mess of making burritos, tacos, or cooking lasagna noodles It is also very hearty – one recipe lasts for three meals with my family of three I can’t eat a lot of tomatoes so I don’t add many to the recipe – you could certainly use a second jar of salsa if you like If you don’t have the cooking creme you can substitute 1 pack of cream cheese, softened, with 1/4 cup salsa and 1 tsp cumin mixed well I make my own taco seasoning using cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper , Thanks, Rachel!Easy to prepare! So yummy! Thumbs up from everyone! I fixed a salad with the ingredients I would normally use to put on tacos and served with it It was a huge hit! I prepared this in 2 casserole dishes and shared with a friend She and her children loved it!I added extra salsa and used cream cheese instead of the cooking creme The cooking creme was such a crazy, expensive price! I loved all the different layers of ingredients! It really had amazing flavors I will be making this often in our rotation of evening meals It will make a great pot luck dinner for church or other functions!

After the Beef Is Done, Layer the Corn Tortilla Halves Around Your Baking Dish. I Put Two on Each Long Side, One on Each Short Side, and Three in the Center - It Is Ok If There Are a Few Gaps. Spread the Ground Beef Over Top of the Tortillas. |

Add Another Layer of Tortillas Halves, and Then a Layer of Black Beans. I Drained the Beans but Left a Little Liquid. If You Want a Finer Layer You Can Pulse Them in Your Food Processor. |
