1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then mix in the taco seasoning according to package directions.
-
Layer Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of refried beans over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer four lasagna noodles over the beans. Top the noodles with half of the seasoned ground beef, half of the diced tomatoes, half of the corn, and a third of the shredded cheese.
-
Repeat Layers: Add another layer of noodles and repeat the layering with the remaining beef, tomatoes, and corn. Top with another third of the cheese.
-
Final Layer: Add the final layer of noodles, spread the sour cream evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese and chopped onions.
-
Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
-
Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
-
If you want to add extra heat, you can incorporate some diced jalapeños or hot sauce in the layers.

For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with black beans or another protein of choice.
