As always opinions are my own.
Getting dinners on the tables these days can be more than difficult most days of the week. So I totally can relate to any of you out there that struggle daily to first come up with a recipe to make that the whole family will love but also shop and cook it! But I’ve found a solution to at least one of your problems. Deciding on what to make. How about this Cheese Taco Lasagna? It’s tacos + lasagna in one! Two of families favorite meals, in one!
This Cheesy Taco Lasagna is a meal in one that can be prepared ahead. It makes plenty to feed a large family or make enough for two week night dinners. Or dinner one night and lunch the next. Whatever works for you! Simply top with your favorite taco toppings like avocado, tomato, shredded lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, more salsa or cheese. Anything works!
My favorite part of this dish (other than the layers of Vermont Extra Sharp Cabot Cheese) is the crunchy tortilla chips you add on at the end. It adds a fun crunchy texture to balance the layers of creamy cheddar cheese and soft lasagna noodles.
Get the kiddos involved by helping you layer the ingredients into the baking dish. They can help lay the lasagna noodles into the pan, spooning on the meat, salsa and corn and sprinkle on the cheese.
Have someone who is vegetarian? You can easily substitute the meat with a can of black or pinto beans.
Have someone who needs gluten-free option? Substitute regular no-boil lasagna noodles with gluten free noodles or corn tortillas.
