Mexican Lasagna

This one I am proud of because I made it up myself. Okay, so maybe it isn't that hard to make a taco casserole but hey, you've got to start somewhere.

Ingredients
Tortillas
1 can black beans
1 1/2 C rice (uncooked measure)
1 lbs ground beef
1 C salsa
1 packet (3 Tbs) Taco Seasoning
Cheddar Cheese

Directions
Cook the rice as you normally would. Meanwhile, brown the ground beef and add the packed of taco seasoning and 2/3 c of water (or whatever it says on your packet). Let this simmer for a few minutes. Then add the rinsed and drained can of black beans, letting them heat up with the taco meat.

When the rice is done, add the salsa and mix together.

Line the bottom of the casserole with tortillas. Put down a layer of rice, then meat/beans, then sprinkle some cheese. Cover with another layer of tortillas. Layer on the rest of the ingredients in the same order.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is bubbly. Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.
