Contest-Winning Tex-Mex Lasagna image

This yummy dish combines my love of lasagna with my love of Mexican food. I made the recipe healthier by using lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheese. And I increased the fiber by adding beans. -Athena Russell of Florence, South Carolina

This lasagna was a great way to use up leftover taco meat. The Tex-Mex flavors were delicious and the lasagna was very cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese or using a different type of cheese.
