Ultimate Taco Lasagna delicious yet bit healthy :) perfect ratio of dip and tortilla chips for ever bite!

Ok i seen people made the taco lasagna or whatever is called.. they usually use flour tortillas and just meat and taco seasoning.. then they top it with salsa cheese and other stuff..

My problem with this is that flour tortillas are not very good.. they arent as healthy and i just dont like bleached corn.. also thats a lot of meat!!.. to make a lasagna this big you prob need like3 lbs of meat.. that's too much.. and its not as flavorful and extremely unhealthy.. not to mention expensive.. did you know meat suppose to go up a lot this year? anyways

I'm not claiming my lasagna is healthy at all.. you better eating a salad.. but is the superbowl for crying out loud.. so this is a falvorful and healthy you gonna get.. because you are cutting down the amount of meat traditionally used by 1/3 and replacing it with refried beans, salsa, tomatoes and onions



Ingredients for this item

The Shopping list is a follows
16 Oz Refried Beans
16 oz or more of salsa
15 oz cheese sauce
1 tomatoes
1/2 large white onion
Doritos bag
Corn Tortillas.. (try fresh tortillas from the local mexican tortilleria)
1 lbs of Ground Beef.
Taco Seasoning

and a 2.3 L or 2.3 quart casserole dish

Step 1: Cut down your produce

Ok you dont need tomatoes and onions.. you can just do it with salsa.. however, i like to add fresh produce to the salsa is because it gives the impression that you made the whole salsa from scratch :) also it gives it a nice texture when chewing it.. like a crispier bite..
If you and your friends like spicy stuff.. you can chop up some jalapenos and add them.. i didnt cause i had some people who don't like spicy stuff.. (remember to take out the seeds in the jalapenos) 

chop your onions and then your tomatoe.. do it in this order.. so your onions dont get red sauce all over them

make sure your knifes are nice and sharp.. thats the secret to not get runny tomatoes and not crying

keep them separated

I do something like this but I call it enchilada casserole. :D Very good!

yum.. is the same thing almost.. but instead of salsa and beans mix.. you would use enchilada sauce

At the risk of sounding critical... where's the lasagna part? Isn't this just nachos?

It still looks yummy! :)

hmm i think the term lasagna is used for anything layered?
i was gonna say that used pasta.. but then they have that lasagna that uses egg plants instead of the pasta layers.
Then i thought anything that layers meat .. but then they have that veggie lasagna. which uses veggies instead of tomatoes..
So if you think about it lasagna i think means anything layered?
i might be wrong but taco lasagna makes it for a catchy name right? :)

thanks

You could be right about the layers and the terminology. I still think it looks great and yes, the name is catchy. I might give this a try one night, but I'd have to load mine with jalapenos. :)
