1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles.
2
Add the finely chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Saute for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the pepper turns tender.
3
Pour in the salsa verde, mix well ensuring all of the meat is coated, and remove from heat.
PREPARING THE CHEESE LAYER
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/2 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
ASSEMBLING THE LASAGNA
5
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, start with a layer of 3 lasagna noodles. Spread half of the ricotta mixture, followed by half of the beef mixture evenly over the noodles.
6
Repeat the process by layering 3 more lasagna noodles, the remaining of the ricotta mixture followed by the remaining beef mixture.
7
Finish off with the final 3 lasagna noodles, and sprinkle the top evenly with the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend.
BAKING THE LASAGNA
8
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until the cheese melts to a bubbly golden brown and the noodles are fully cooked.
FINAL TOUCHES
9
Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with the chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, and cilantro, and top with the avocado slices.
