Step-by-Step Instructions for Quick and Easy Mexican Lasagna
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients including tortillas, ground beef, black beans, corn, cheese, and salsa. Have a baking dish ready.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning.
  3. Layer tortillas in the baking dish, followed by beef, black beans, corn, cheese, and salsa. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
