Easy Taco Lasagna (gluten-free)

This Taco Lasagna Recipe is the perfect meal for you and your family. It is a crowd pleaser meal filled with gluten-free tortillas, taco meat and cheese. One of my go to recipe for an easy weeknight meal.

I love this taco lasagna so much. It’s perfect for a crowd-pleasing kind of meal. And a meal that doesn’t require so many steps or too much effort to make. 

Plus you know I love a good Mexican-inspired recipe. It is always satisfying, flavorful and it feeds me and my family. I call that can all around winner when it comes to a dinner idea. This taco lasagna is the perfect weeknight meal for anyone. And you can really use anything you’d like for it. I typically use ground turkey but also ground beef and chicken work well too. 

There is really nothing not to love about having layers of cheese, tortillas and meat together. I like to think of this as a big quesadilla of sorts with layers. The cheesy taco meat and tortillas is just so delicious.

If you love tacos and quesadillas, you will love this Taco Lasagna. It has that layered dish vibe that lasagna has. And you can also double up this recipe if you want to make another or make it in a larger casserole dish. It is great to cook for a group. Or make with the intention of having leftovers all week long.

Plus I love that you can really modify this and tweak it to use what you want. Add in some beans, salsa, more veggies or anything you are craving.

I cannot wait to hear what you think this recipe. I hope you love it too.

What ingredients you need to make taco lasagna:

• Ground turkey, chicken or beef – really any ground meat can work for this recipe. Turkey, chicken or beef can all work. Use what you are craving!
• Green chilies – I love adding green chilies to taco meat! A tip my mom taught me
• Taco seasoning – or your desired seasonings for the taco meat
• Gluten-free flour tortillas – or use burrito sized tortillas. They should be flour tortillas. I use almond flour ones so it’s gluten-free
