This Taco Lasagna is an incredibly delicious amalgamation of standard Tex-Mex tacos and a simple lasagna. This delectable creation combines all the components of a classic beef taco and intertwines them with lasagna noodles, zingy taco sauce, shredded cheese, and ground beef. The outcome is a nourishing and gratifying feast that is ideal for serving a large gathering or relishing as delectable leftovers during the week.

Each piece of lasagna is a tantalizing burst of flavors, as the saucy ground beef, taco sauce, and mozzarella cheese fuse seamlessly to create a euphoric medley of taste. Regardless of whether you yearn for the delights of Mexican or Italian fare, Taco Lasagna graciously fulfills all your cravings, elevating your dinner experience to new heights.

I lightened this Taco Lasagna up by using an extra lean ground befe and also a fat free cheese. You can go with mozzarella or cheddar - or a combination of both. I also chose to top mine with some fresh pico and plain fat free greek yogurt in place of sour cream. You could use a lean ground turkey instead of beef if you wanted to.

The dish does give you 9 full big large servings that are fulling and delicious. It’s great as a make ahead meal too, just do everything up to the final 30 minute bake. Save that for when you’re ready to heat it and eat it for dinner.
