Method
 

  1. Heat a pan and brown the mince.
  2. Add the onion, capsicum, and spices. Cook for a few minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Stir in the corn, beans, and tomatoes.
  4. Once it starts to bubble, cover and cook on low for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes to thicken.
  5. In a lasagna dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture, top with two tortillas, then more beef and some cheese. Repeat for three layers, finishing with tortillas.
  6. Pour the salsa over the top and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes until golden. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. I love adding a big dollop of sour cream on top! Enjoy! 🤤
