Mexican Lasagna

 

1 bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos
1 pound ground beef
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
1 pound shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
1 package taco seasoning
2 -8 oz cans tomato sauce

 

Brown ground beef and drain. Add sauce and taco mix, simmer on low for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Mix together in a bowl sour cream, cottage cheese, egg, and salt and pepper 

In a baking dish crush a thin layer of Doritos, then put in a layer of the cheese mixture, then a layer of sauce. Continue layering ending with cheese.

Bake uncovered at 350 for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is all melted.

@LilBitMissty   Gosh, I had forgotten about this recipe.  Thank you for posting.  I'm going to make this soon.

 

And the bonus is most of the ingredients are on sale because of this weekend's Super Bowl.

@LilBitMissty.  I'd have to sandwich a layer of green chile in there somewhere.  It does so much for a dish like this.  Doesn't have to be spicy; comes in mild flavor.

I never heard of that before.  I will make it one day, put it in the freezer and eat it in increments when DH is not watching.  Ha ha.

I've eaten a Mexican Lasagna that used Flour Tortillas (in place of the the Lasagna Noodles).  I think I even had a receipe for it but don't remember running across it in a long while.  

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

I make this one which uses corn tortillas which I also call Mexican Lasagna (but I think it was originally called South of the Border bake):

 

Ingredients
 
  • 1 1/2 cups Black beans, canned
  • 1 1/2 cups Corn, frozen kernels
  • 2 Scallions, medium
  • 18 Corn tortillas (6-inch)
  • 4 cups Cheddar or pepper jack cheese (I use  packages of shredded Mexican four cheese)
  • 1 Sour cream (for serving)
  • 3 cups Enchilada sauce (I buy 3 cans of medium enchilada sauce)
  • 4 cups Shredded plain rotisserie chicken, skin and bones discarded
     
    Layer and bake in a 9 x 13 pan covered for 30-45 minutes
