Today I’m sharing this super yummy dish: Mexican lasagna. My all time favorite food is Mexican. I could eat it every single night! So I decided to take one of my favorite recipes, taco soup, and turn it into lasagna! I used a lot of the same ingredients and it turned out so yummy. It has the such a great flavor! My hubs raved about it the whole night! Score!

WOW, Yummy, Tasty, Spicy. I like Mexican foods. This really looks awesome and I really want to try it. Coming Sunday I am going to try this in my Kitchen.
Nice post.

Keep Posting. :)
This looks delicious . . . Can’t wait to give it a try. Wish I had the ingredients on hand for tonight’s dinner. :)
I think I’ll add a layer of Refried Beans on the tortillas, and a layer of rice after the meat. The shredded chicken option sounds amazing.
That sounds yummy! I’ll have to try that version too. :D
Sounds very delicious! What is rotel? I can’t translate into Danish. Can you add en photo or describe it, please?
Hi Lone! Rotel is diced tomatoes with diced green chiles. You could add a can of each…or even fresh. :)
This definitely sounds like a recipe my family would love! Have you ever tried freezing this? If so, how did it turn out and what are the reheating instructions? Thank you!
I haven’t before, but it should work great frozen for 3-6 months. Just make sure to let it thaw for an hour before cooking. :)
i am in love with mexican food.will definitly try this.
It is really yummy, hope you enjoy it Cindy! :)
Made this tonight for the first time tonight. Super yum! Good job!
I made this tonight and it was really good. Used my own taco seasoning and salsa recipes instead of Rotel and peppers, and more cheese. I only had large corn tortillas and they worked just fine. Service with our fav toppings and a salad. Will make again. Will be a great tailgate food too. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your substitutions Ramona! I’m so glad you liked it! :)
