Crispy tortillas and feathered cheese makes this Mexican Lasagna a delicious, spicier alternative to the classic Italian-style lasagna. We replace pasta with crispy baked tortillas accompanied by fresh chopped vegetables and zesty ground beef. Finished with an authentic Mexican crema for a tangy finish, and sliced radish for a crispy crunch.

1 Prep the Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 375F. Slice the lime in half. Rinse and chop the tomato in to a small Rinse and thinly slice the jalapeno and red chili. If you are averse to spice, omit the seeds and/or lessen the amount of peppers. Rinse and thinly slice the radish. Rinse and roughly chop the cilantro. Halve the lime.

2 Bake the Tortillas
Lightly brush the tortillas on both sides with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes, or until tortillas are beginning to brown, but are not completely crispy.
-
3 Sauté the Taco Beef
Heat a large sauté of medium heat. When pan is hot, add the ground beef and taco seasoning and cook until browned and fully cooked. Beef will no longer be pink. Add ½ cup of water and simmer on low for about 5 minutes.

4 Assemble the Lasagna
On the same baking sheet that you cooked the tortillas, place 2 tortillas. Add cheese, ground beef, 1 Tbsp. taco sauce, and chopped tomatoes and peppers to each tortilla (save a small amount of taco sauce for plating). Place another tortilla on top of the layered ingredients and repeat this step. Top with another tortilla, and a sprinkle of cheese. Place back in the oven for 4-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lasagna is warm throughout.

5 Plate the Dish
Place one Mexican Lasagna in the middle of a plate. Spoon remaining taco sauce around the plate. Garnish with sliced radish and cilantro. Finish the plate with a dollop of crema.
