Mexican Lasagna

1lb ground beef
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 c. onion (about a half of an onion)
1/3 c. water
taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can refried beans
6 flour tortillas (small)
2 c. Mexican or cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef or turkey with onion and pepers. Drain off access grease. Add water, taco seasoning to your taste, diced tomatoes, and black beans. Simmer for about 10 minutes until it's slightly thick.

Spray a 7"x11" (or similar size) glass pan with non-stick spray. Spread refried beans over tortillas and place in bottom of the pan. Then add the meat mixture on the top, about 1/2. Add as much cheese as you like, then repeat with another layer of tortillas and refried beans, meat and cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top of casserole and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes before you cut into it. Serve with sour cream, salsa, pico, guachamole or whatever you like.


You can also prepare this and freeze it for up to a month. Make sure you fully defrost it before you bake it. Sorry, I don't have a finished product shot because my boys tor into before I could get a picture.

Enjoy!
