  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 1 tablespoons chili powder
  • ½ tablespoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 24 ounce jar salsa

Instructions
  1. In a large sauté pan on medium high heat add olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until onion translucent. Add in ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan. Return sauté pan to stove on medium high heat. Add in water and spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, ground pepper). Cook stirring occasionally until liquid has evaporated.

Then for the last layer after the sour cream add on an additional layer of lasagna noodles and sprinkle remaining ⅓ of shredded cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
  3. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, remove aluminum foil. Top with crushed tortilla chips and bake for another 15 minutes.
  4. Once cooked let sit for 10 minutes. Cut and serve topped with your favorite taco toppings (additional salsa, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro etc.)
