  • Step 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until evenly browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

    In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced tomatoes and green chiles and alfredo sauce; mix together until blended. Set aside.
  • Step 6
    In medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg whites, sour cream and remaining taco seasoning; whisk together with a fork until blended.
  • Step 7
    Place 3 cooked lasagna noodles into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the lasagna noodles.
  • Step 8
    Add half the alfredo sauce mixture all over the beef mixture. Spoon half the ricotta cheese mixture on the beef and sauce mixture.
  • Step 9
    Top with the crushed taco shells and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese. Repeat the layers. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.
