Categories     Mexican

Time 2h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/4 cup olive oil, divided, plus additional for greasing pan
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 cups low sodium beef broth
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 (16 ounce) cans white navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (don't shred the fresh mozzarella balls)
3/4 cup grated queso fresco
15 corn tortillas
2 avocados, peeled and seeded
1 lemon, juice and zest of

Steps:

  • Preheat a dutch oven over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add beef. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until beef begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add remaining tablespoon olive oil and add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute until softened, about 8 minutes more. Add cayenne, paprika, cumin, coriander, and dried oregano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomatoes, beef stock, and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a brisk simmer, and cook until reduced and nearly all liquid is cooked off, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine white beans, sour cream, and half of mozzarella and queso fresco. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with olive oil and spread 1 cup red sauce on the bottom. Create a layer on top with tortillas, cutting to fit if necessary. We used 5 tortillas per layer: 1 in each corner, and then a fifth tortilla, cut in half, placed in the center of the dish, to fill in the gaps. Top tortillas with one-third of the bean mixture and one third of remaining red sauce. Repeat twice more, ending with red sauce. Top with remaining grated cheeses and transfer to oven. Bake until lasagna is warmed through and cheese is bubbling and golden on top, about 20 minutes.
  • While lasagna bakes, combine avocados, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork and season to taste with salt.
  • Remove lasagna from oven and let cool 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve, garnished with avocado topping.

I thought this lasagna was really good. The tortillas were a nice touch and the flavors were well-balanced.

This lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This was the worst lasagna I've ever had. The tortillas were soggy and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I thought this lasagna was pretty good. The tortillas were a nice change from traditional pasta.

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lasagna turned out dry and bland. I won't be making this again.
