Tips:
- Use corn tortillas instead of lasagna noodles. This gives the lasagna a unique Mexican flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. When cooking the ground beef, make sure to cook it in batches so that it browns evenly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the beef will steam instead of brown.
- Season the ground beef well. Use a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano, to give the beef a flavorful taste.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of Mexican cheeses, such as queso Oaxaca, queso fresco, and Chihuahua cheese, gives the lasagna a rich and creamy flavor.
- Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and hot. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Mexican lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
