Mexican Lasagna

This delicious recipe can be made in the crock pot or in the oven if you prefer.  Its simply delicious and so easy. It can be made with lasagna noodles or tortilla shells. My boys prefer the tortilla shells.

Ingredients:
Ground Beef (2 lbs)
3 packs Taco seasoning
1 jar cheese con queso
1 jar salsa
1 block cream cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 pack of flour tortilla shells ( or 1 box lasagna noodles)

Topping
Lettuce
Sour cream
Tomatoes

In preparation for layers, brown ground beef and mix with 2 packs of taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Add 2 heaping spoons of the cheese con queso and Let simmer on oven while preparing your other layers.  Mix 1 block of cream cheese with 1 pack of taco seasoning and stir until well mixed.

Spread small layer of salsa across bottom of crock pot.
Lay 2 round tortilla shells on top of salsa (or cooked lasagna noodles if you prefer)
Spread thin layer of cream cheese/taco seasoning on top of shells.
Spoon layer of meat mixture.
Spread small layer of salsa on top of meat.
Top with a layer of shredded cheese (last 30 minutes of cooking).

Continue layers (as with any lasagna~I usually get 4 layers out of mix)
After final layer of meat and salsa add top tortilla shell layer. SPread layer of cheese con queso and cover with remaining shredded cheese. Best results to top with the shredded cheese the last 30 minutes in the crock so it doesnt get too overcooked.

Cook on low for 3 hours or high for 1-2 hours.
If cooking in oven, prepare in casserole dish and back covered for 25 minutes then top with shredded cheese and bake uncovered an additional 10 minutes until cheese has melted completely. Cut and top with favorite taco toppings:)
