Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis (thinly sliced) or 4 low-carb tortillas
  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken
  • 1 cup sugar-free salsa
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Foil

Method
 

  1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Throw in some chopped onion and garlic, cook until fragrant, and then add ground beef or chicken. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper; season just a bit. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  2. Prepare the Base: Slice zucchini into thin strips or use low-carb tortillas. Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture while baking.
  3. Layer Dish: Spread zucchini/tortilla in prepared baking dish, top with a layer of meat mixture, spoon over a couple dollops of salsa and a bit of sour cream, and finally cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Bake the Lasagna: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 min. Uncover and bake 10 minutes more for a golden top.
  5. Rest and Serve: Rest for a few minutes and let it rest at least 10 minutes before cutting for nice layering.

Notes

  • Pat zucchini slices dry to avoid excess water.
  • Mix cheddar and mozzarella for the perfect cheesy melt.
  • Add jalapeños or bell peppers for extra flavor.
  • Ground turkey is a great lighter alternative to beef.
  • Use parchment paper if cheese sticks to foil.
