ANYTHING but boring – that’s how I like my food
A little twist on the ordinary:
Regular ranch dressing (meh…) → YOGURT based ranch dressing
Broccoli cheese rice casserole → Cheesy broccoli CAULI rice casserole
Cookie → TAHINI cookie shot
Chicken tenders → Air fried buffalo chicken tenders stuffed with blue cheese
Lasagna → TACO lasagna… YAS PUH-LEASE
This recipe is somewhere between taco Tuesday and a cozy TV dinner on a Friday night in.
Perk of this recipe is that you can prep it once, eat it 9 times!
Recipe
- 1 pound 92% lean ground beef
- 1 packet chickpea lasagna ( I use this brand )
- 1/2 package Trader Joe’s taco seasoning
- 1 egg
- 2 cups part skim ricotta cheese
- 1 can black beans
- 1 (24-oz) jar low sodium mild chunky salsa
- 2 cups Mexican shredded cheese
- Optional topping: green onions
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 375° F.
- In a large skillet, brown beef until no longer pink. Drain meat and add the taco seasoning. Stir until combined and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the egg and ricotta and stir until combined.
- In a 9×13 baking dish, lay 4 dry Banza Lasagna sheets.
- Add a layer of 1/3 of the ricotta, 1/3 of the beef mixture, 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the salsa, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers 2 more times.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for ~45 minutes.
I hope you enjoy!
