Directions
Follow these steps to create your Mediterranean Taco Lasagna:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced red onion until softened and translucent.
- Step 3: Layer the bottom of the greased baking dish with one tortilla, then spoon some of the sautéed onion on top.
- Step 4: Add your choice of Mediterranean fillings such as diced tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese on top of the onion layer.
- Step 5: Repeat the layering process with additional tortillas and fillings, ending with a layer of tortillas on top.
- Step 6: Top with a generous amount of cheese (like mozzarella or feta) to create a deliciously gooey finish.
- Step 7: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
- Step 8: Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
