Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions, then add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Layer the Lasagna: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a small amount of salsa on the bottom to prevent sticking. Place two tortillas to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread a portion of the meat mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Repeat this layering process (tortillas, meat, sour cream, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to lightly brown.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the taco lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onions. Serve with your favorite toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or extra sour cream.

Notes

Make sure to drain the beans and corn well to prevent excess moisture in the lasagna.
You can substitute the ground meat with a plant-based alternative for a vegetarian version.
Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference.
