Kay's Taco Lasagna

This is my adaptation of a recipe I found online.  It is wonderful for a potluck dinner.


2 pounds lean ground beef
2 packages of mild taco seasoning mix
1  cup of water
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 can of diced tomatoes, undrained or you could use a can with green chilis for a bit more kick!
1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 can refried beans, heated and stirred to be spreadable
9 large flour tortillas  (for a Christmas casserole use the green spinach tortillas)
4 cups of Mexican blend  shredded cheese
Sour cream and sliced black olives to top


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large skilled brown beef with the onions and bell peppers.  Drain any fat.  Add taco seasoning mixes and water.  Bring to boil and then simmer 5 minutes until water is absorbed.  Add tomatoes and corn. Mix well.  Simmer 5 more minutes.  In a large long casserole dish that you have sprayed, lay three tortilla. Spread one half of the refried beans on top.   Then sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese on top, and 1/3 of the meat.  Lay 3 tortillas, spread remaining half of refried beans. top 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the meat. Lay 3 tortillas, remaining meat, and cheese.  Bake 30 minutes.  Top with sour cream and sprinkle with black olives slices. .
