Notes

If you’d like to make your own taco seasoning, just combine a teaspoon of chili powder with a teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then, toss in about 1/2 teaspoon of the following – crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and paprika.
For added heat, serve this Mexican lasagna with your favorite hot sauce on the top.
Instead of ground beef, you can use ground pork, turkey, or chicken. You can even use a ground plant based protein to make this meal vegetarian friendly!
