Tips:

  • To save time, use no-boil lasagna noodles. They cook in the sauce, so you don't have to boil them separately.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the vegetables by hand. Just make sure they are finely chopped so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your lasagna. Some good options include zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms.
  • If you want a cheesier lasagna, add more cheese to the filling and sprinkle some on top before baking.
  • Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

This meatless Mexican lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a meatless meal, give this lasagna a try. You won't be disappointed!
