Notes

Serve Taco Lasagna hot, allowing each person to help themselves. It pairs well with a green salad, sour cream, or guacamole. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave until warm. Customize with extra vegetables or gluten-free corn tortillas.
