Remove the taco lasagna from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving. Slice into even servings.

Top each slice with sour cream, green onions, and a tomato slice.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. Although, I highly doubt that there will be leftovers because this lasagna will be gone in just a few minutes!
