Mexican Tortilla Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish packed with layers of seasoned meat, tortillas, cheese, and a flavorful tomato sauce. It’s like a Mexican lasagna and makes for a comforting meal that’s perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week. Here’s how to make it:

2. Layer the Casserole:
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the tortillas into quarters (to fit more easily in the casserole).
Start layering the casserole: Spread a small amount of the meat mixture at the bottom of the dish, then add a layer of tortilla pieces on top. Top with a portion of the meat mixture, a sprinkle of corn, and a handful of cheese.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat mixture on top, then finish with the remaining cheese.
3. Bake the Casserole:
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve:
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optionally, top with sour cream, cilantro, or any other favorite toppings like guacamole, jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Additional Tips:
Add vegetables: You can add black beans, zucchini, or spinach for extra nutrients and flavor.
Make it spicier: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture or on top of the casserole.
Meal prep: This casserole stores well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheats beautifully. You can also freeze it for up to 2-3 months.
This Mexican Tortilla Casserole is a crowd-pleasing dish full of flavor, and it’s so versatile—you can easily customize it to your tastes! Enjoy!
