8 pieces corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend

Method

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the black beans, corn, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Assemble the Lasagna

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of salsa on the bottom.
Layer 4 tortillas over the salsa, followed by half of the meat mixture and half of the cheese.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of tortillas topped with salsa and remaining cheese.

Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve

Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
