Taco lasagne

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1kg minced beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium red capsicum, diced
• 2 sachets taco seasoning
• 1 cup (250ml) water
• 1 tin (400g) diced tomatoes
• 1 tin (400g) corn kernels, drained
• 1 tin (425g) Mexe-beans
• 1 pkt (6) tortillas
• 1 tin (435g) refried beans
• 3 cups grated cheese
• sour cream, to serve
• salsa, to serve
• 2 green onions, sliced to garnish

Method

Step 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). In a non stick frying pan over high heat, brown the mince and add the onion and capsicum. Cook for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and add water, stirring well. Bring to the boil. Add the tomatoes, corn kernels and Mexe-beans and reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 2. Cut 3 tortillas into quarters. Lay one whole tortilla into a baking dish and then lay 4 quarters with the pointy side into the corners to cover the entire base.

Step 3. Spread half of the refried beans over the tortillas and pour over one third of the mince mixture. Sprinkle over 1 cup of cheese. Repeat and then finish with a layer of tortilla, mince and cheese.

Step 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden. Serve with dollops of sour cream, salsa and green onions as a garnish.
