Taco Lasanga

Barb’s Taco Lasagna
Ingredients-
2 lbs ground meat (beef/chicken/pork/turkey/lamb (Whatever you choose)
3 pks taco seasoning
1 Large Can Refried Beans
2 boxes Spanish Rice (cooked up separately)
1 bag shredded cheese
2 large jar salsa
1 Large container of ricotta cheese
2 16 count packages tortillas

--------
Brown meat until done, add in 2 packages of taco seasoning and let simmer. While meat is browning prepare the rice according to the box (Or if you want to cheat 2 cups instant rice cooked up and add ½ of a jar of salsa to it..). Heat up beans and mix until smooth and creamy. Blend 1 package of taco seasoning into ricotta cheese.

Spray a baking pan with pam (or grease it or butter it), layer 1 layer of tortillas over lapping only a bit until the bottom of the pan is covered. Smear a layer of beans over tortillas, add ground meat over that, then a layer of ricotta cheese, rice, then salsa and a thin layer of shredded cheese. Add another layer of tortillas and repeat with beans, meat, rice, ricotta and salsa until pan is filled. Top off with 1 last layer of tortillas then smother tortillas with cheese. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until heated through and cheese on top is all melted and slightly browning.

Serve garnished with a dollup of sour cream and chives for added flare.
