Mexican Lasagna (Gluten Free)
Mexican Lasagna
This delicious Mexican Lasagna Recipe is very easy to make and Gluten Free!
When my oldest son was little, he had many health issues and was tested for Celiac Disease, among other things.
As part of the process of diagnosis/ruling things out, we tried a gluten-free diet for a while, to see if it helped him. For him, it didn’t seem to make any difference, but it made us sensitive to those in our circle who do need gluten-free meals.
I try to keep a variety of gluten-free recipes in my arsenal so that if we’re entertaining I know there is a meal I can make for everyone to enjoy!
This would make a wonderful dish to serve at potlucks since you never know who might need a gluten-free dish in the crowd. I hope your family and friends enjoy this dish as much as mine does.
Mexican Lasagna Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (Gluten Free)
1 16 oz can refried beans
1 can enchilada sauce (or 2 1/3 cups homemade)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
3 tomatoes, diced
1 medium onion, diced
18 white corn tortillas, cut in half
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
To begin, Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Next, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook diced onion and brown ground beef. Drain off excess grease, then stir in contents of taco seasoning packet. Set aside.
In a 9×13 casserole dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom.
Layer tortilla halves, so straight edges line up along the outer edge of the dish.
Continue layering to fill any gaps (it’s ok if there is some overlap).
Continue layering the lasagna in the following order (saving enough of each ingredient to form a second layer): refried beans, enchilada sauce, beef and onion mixture, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.
You may then sprinkle on fresh cilantro and/or black olives if you wish before starting the next layer.
With the second half of ingredients, start the next layer as follows: tortillas, refried beans, enchilada sauce, beef and onion mixture, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes (optional fresh cilantro and/or black olives).
Top with a final layer that includes tortillas, a light layer of enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas have slightly crisped.
Allow lasagna to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, fresh tomatoes, etc.

Nice twist on regular lasagna.

Lasagna is one of my favorite things to eat! My kids love it too! I have to give this recipe a try! Thanks for sharing it!
That looks incredible. Mexican food is our favorite and we also love lasagna. What a great combination.
This looks tasty.
This sounds like a tasty dish that the family would enjoy. Thanks!
This looks really good although I would make my own enchilada sauce as I don’t like the can ones.
Yum! But if we don’t eat refried beans what might you suggest for a substitute?
This looks awesome! I love to try new recipes. Will surely try this one

Ah! Very similar to the stacked enchiladas we’ve been served in some of the Mexican restaurants back in El Paso, Texas.
I pinned this recipe, I think it would be a nice change on one of Mexican nights.
Love everything about this recipe…thanks for sharing! It sure sounds delicious, plus love how much easier it would be to prepare than regular lasagna! I’ll be making it real soon 🙂

This looks like a great recipe for supper – my kids love enchiladas and tacos and the like. Must go look through my pantry as I don’t think I have enchilada sauce so I might need to step out to get some.
