Tips:

  • Use a variety of peppers. This recipe calls for a mix of bell peppers, poblano peppers, and Anaheim peppers. Feel free to adjust the types and quantities of peppers based on your personal preferences and what you have on hand.
  • Roast the peppers. Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smokiness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and vegetables. If it's too thin, let it simmer for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. Lasagna noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Layer the lasagna carefully. Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then vegetables, then cheese. Repeat the layers until you've used up all of the ingredients.
  • Bake the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

This Santa Fe lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor from the roasted peppers, corn, black beans, and spices. The creamy cheese sauce and crispy tortilla chips add a nice touch of richness and texture. Whether you're a fan of Mexican food or not, you're sure to enjoy this lasagna.
