Gluten Free Mexican Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
This recipe was created for its original yield of 8 servings. Quantities are automatically scaled, but cooking steps and timing remain consistent. Keep in mind that not all recipes scale perfectly.
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chili without beans (e.g., Wolf)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 12 corn tortillas, or as needed
- 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chili, drained black beans, and chopped onion until evenly mixed.
Step 3: Arrange 4 tortillas across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of Cheddar cheese over the tortillas.
Step 4: Spoon half of the chili mixture over the cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Repeat the layering process: tortillas, cheese, and the remaining chili mixture, finishing with a generous layer of Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 6: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the lasagna moist during baking.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling and cheese is melted and slightly golden.

I was impressed by how quick, easy, and delicious this recipe turned out to be. It reheated well, which was a bonus. I opted for Hormel chili, which I believe is the top choice. Following the recipe, I also threw in some sliced olives, as we are big fans of them. One suggestion to make this even simpler would be to buy chili with beans instead of adding black beans separately to chili without beans. Just a thought!
