Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with the chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking apart chunks of meat with the back of a spoon, and stirring often, until meat is crumbled and browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the salsa and 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Spread a quarter of the meat sauce over the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Lay a third of the noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly and breaking them to fit, if needed. Leave a 1/2-inch space around the edges of the baking dish. Top the noodles with another quarter of the meat sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Make another layer with a third of the noodles, a quarter of the meat sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat, making a final layer with the remaining third of the pasta and quarter of the sauce, making sure that the top layer of noodles is completely covered in sauce. Top with the remaining third of the mozzarella.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the noodles are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and cook 15 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with lettuce, tomato, Cheddar and chips.

TACO CASSEROLE (MEXICAN LASAGNA)
Delicious tex mex flavors without the mess of making burritos, tacos, or cooking lasagna noodles. It is also very hearty - one recipe lasts for three meals with my family of three. I can't eat a lot of tomatoes so I don't add many to the recipe - you could certainly use a second jar of salsa if you like. If you don't have the cooking creme you can substitute 1 pack of cream cheese, softened, with 1/4 cup salsa and 1 tsp cumin mixed well. I make my own taco seasoning using cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until soft. Add ground beef and brown. Drain fat and return skillet to heat, add taco seasoning 1/4 cup salsa (you can use more salsa if you like.).
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the other ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350*F; Grease your 9"x13" glass baking dish; cut the corn tortillas in half; and open all the canned beans.
- After the beef is done, layer the corn tortilla halves around your baking dish. I put two on each long side, one on each short side, and three in the center - it is ok if there are a few gaps. Spread the ground beef over top of the tortillas.
- Make another layer of tortilla halves, followed by the remaining salsa. (If you want to omit most of the tomatoes you could substitute 2 sauted onions and 1/2 cup salsa on this layer.).
- Add another layer of tortillas halves, and then a layer of black beans. I drained the beans but left a little liquid. If you want a finer layer you can pulse them in your food processor.
- Add another layer of tortilla halves, followed by the cooking creme (see the description for a substitution.) Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cheese over the cooking creme.
- Add a final layer of tortilla halves. Spread the refried beans over the top of the dish, and coat with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350*F for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Allow the dish to set for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a large dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with diced tomato and sliced olives.
- I serve this as a meal by itself - you could certainly add rice, corn, or chips as a side dish if desired.

Tips:
- Use a variety of tortillas. This will give your lasagna a more interesting texture and flavor. You can use corn tortillas, flour tortillas, or even whole-wheat tortillas.
- Don't overcook the tortillas. They should be pliable but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will fall apart when you assemble the lasagna.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your lasagna shine. Use a sauce that you love, whether it's a traditional tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a spicy enchilada sauce.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to taco lasagna. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, and meats. You can also change up the sauce or the tortillas. Get creative and have fun!
- Make sure to let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Taco lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover tortillas and taco meat, and it's also a great way to feed a crowd. With its layers of flavorful tortillas, meat, cheese, and sauce, taco lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that's sure to please everyone, give taco lasagna a try. You won't be disappointed!
