Drain off excess moisture and grease. Stir in the refried and black beans, corn, jalapeno, taco seasoning and 3\/4 cup of tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best way to brown ground beef<\/a> is to break it up in the hot skillet and then let it sit for a couple of minutes without stirring so it caramelizes and browns.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Build the lasagna<\/h3>\n<p>Combine the salsa and the remaining tomato sauce. Spread 1\/4 cup into a 13&#215;9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with four noodles (the noodles will overlap slightly), half of the meat sauce, 1 cup of salsa mixture, 1\/2 cup of Monterey Jack and 1\/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers. Top the lasagna with the remaining noodles, salsa mixture and cheese.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Choose a deep dish to accommodate all those layers.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Bake the lasagna<\/h3>\n<p>Cover and bake the lasagna at 350\u00b0F for 45 to 50 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is melted. Let it stand for 10 minutes before cutting it. Serve it with sour cream, avocado and onions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Letting the lasagna rest before cutting it helps the layers set, so you don&#8217;t end up with a Tex-Mex avalanche on your plate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2131171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Tex-Mex-Lasagna_TOHcom25_35507_DR_03_19_02b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tex Mex Lasagna\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tex-Mex Lasagna Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a different meat:<\/strong> Ground chicken or turkey, spicy chorizo or shredded rotisserie chicken are good options to replace the beef.

If you made a double batch (smart move!), store one pan in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze Tex-Mex lasagna?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze Tex-Mes lasagna. Let it cool completely, then either wrap the whole pan tightly in storage wrap and foil, or use an airtight freezer-safe container to freeze portions for easy future meals. It will keep for up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>How should you reheat Tex-Mex lasagna?<\/h3>\n<p>To warm an entire pan of Tex-Mex lasagna, cover it with foil and put it in a 350\u00b0 oven for 20 minutes. To reheat individual pieces, the microwave is the way to go. Heat it for two minutes, then in 30-second intervals until it&#8217;s hot all the way through.<\/p>\n<h2>Tex-Mex Lasagna Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2131172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Tex-Mex-Lasagna_TOHcom25_35507_DR_03_19_03b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tex Mex Lasagna\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do you need to cover lasagna when you bake it?<\/h3>\n<p>Covering lasagna while it bakes is essential because it traps moisture, softening the noodles and blending the flavors without drying the lasagna out. For this Tex-Mex Lasagna, you&#8217;ll want to cover it with foil for the entire baking time to keep all that delicious sauce locked in. If you want a more golden, bubbly cheese topping, remove the foil for the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with Tex-Mex Lasagna?<\/h3>\n<p>It may be called lasagna, but this dish is full-on Tex-Mex.
