Cook the meat before layering your lasagna.
If you want a spicier version, add chopped jalapeno when you cook the beef. You could also add spicy pepper jack cheese.
Use plain canned tomato sauce, not pizza or spaghetti sauce, as those often have Italian flavors and seasonings added.
Divide the meat mixture into three parts so you finish with a tortilla layer. This will help your lasagna to hold its shape better and be easily cut into single servings.
Top with shredded cheese and serve with your favorite taco toppings.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. It will hold together better when cutting.
Make enough ingredients for two casseroles and freeze one for later.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
