RACHAEL RAY'S MEXICAN LASAGNA
Rachael must love her Mexican lasagna because she has several versions. I found this highly-rated recipe on the Food Network. This is broken into simple steps. The spinach flavored tortillas really make this something special. If you like spicy foods, be adventurous and try Jalapeno Cheddar tortillas. *NOTE* If you plan to have leftovers, the reviewers recommend serving the tortillas on the side and not layering with them. The tortillas get will be soggy after sitting in the refrigerator. Doing that makes assembly a snap! :)

A good combination is mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan. - Don't be afraid to add your own personal touch to the recipe. For example, you could add some chopped spinach or zucchini to the vegetable filling, or you could use a different type of sauce, such as a white sauce or a pesto sauce. - If you are using ground beef in your lasagna, be sure to brown it well before adding it to the sauce. This will help to remove any excess grease and give the meat a more flavorful taste. - Be sure to layer the lasagna evenly in the baking dish. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout. - Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil when baking it. This will help to prevent the top from getting too brown. - Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set.Conclusion:

With its layers of flavorful ingredients, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Mexican lasagna a try.
