Description

This Enchilada Lasagna is a creative twist on two classic comfort foods, offering a rich and satisfying meal that is perfect for family dinners. By layering soft flour tortillas with savory ground beef, refried beans, and a blend of melted Cheddar and Jack cheeses, you create a dish that is both texturally interesting and deeply flavorful. The use of red enchilada sauce adds a robust, tomato-based spice that permeates every layer, while fresh cilantro and garlic provide aromatic brightness. This recipe is not only easy to assemble but also reheats beautifully, making it an excellent choice for meal prep or leftovers. Serve it with a crisp green salad or Spanish rice for a complete, home-style feast that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until no longer pink.
  3. Add minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, chili powder, and about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce to the meat mixture; stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or lasagna pan with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking.
  6. Arrange a layer of flour tortillas over the sauce, cutting them if necessary to fit the pan.
  7. Spread a layer of refried beans over the tortillas.
  8. Add half of the meat mixture over the beans.
  9. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
  10. Repeat the layers: tortillas, meat mixture, and remaining cheese.
  11. Top with the remaining tortillas and cover evenly with the rest of the enchilada sauce.
  12. Sprinkle the top with any remaining cheese.
  13. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
  14. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
