ingredients
1 12 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 jar salsa
1 cup water
1 container of ricotta cheese (15 ounces)
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set the noodles aside.

  3. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

  4. Add the can of black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning mix, jar of salsa, and 1 cup of water to the skillet with the meat. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and grated cheddar cheese.

  6. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat and salsa mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  7. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly.

  8. Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of shredded Mexican blend cheese.

  9. Repeat with another layer of meat and salsa mixture, noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, and Mexican blend cheese until all the ingredients are used up.

  10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.

  12. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!

EXPERT TIPS &FAQS

  • Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is an important ingredient in this recipe, so it's worth using a good quality one to get the best flavor. You can use store-bought salsa or make your own at home.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles until they're al dente, then rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy when you bake the lasagna.
  • Drain the canned ingredients: Be sure to drain and rinse the canned black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help prevent the lasagna from becoming too watery.
  • Use a mixture of cheeses: A combination of ricotta cheese, grated cheddar cheese, and shredded Mexican blend cheese works well in this recipe. The ricotta cheese adds creaminess, the cheddar cheese adds flavor, and the Mexican blend cheese melts nicely and adds a nice texture.
  • lasagna cool before slicing: After you remove the lasagna from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help it set and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of the lasagna adds a nice pop of color and flavor. You can also add other toppings like sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.
