Taco Lasagna
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup green pepper chopped
1/2 cup onion chopped
2/3 cup water
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 can (15 oz) black beans rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz) Mexican diced tomatoes undrained
6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese
In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add water and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes.
Stir in the black beans and tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Place two tortillas in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Spread with half of the refried beans and beef mixture; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Yield: 9 servings.
