  2. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  3. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving with optional sour cream and cilantro.

Notes

Taco Lasagna is best served hot. Slice it into squares and serve directly from the baking dish. Adding a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro enhances its flavor. Consider serving with tortilla chips for extra crunch. To store, let it cool completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
