  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tortillas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you use, the more flavorful the lasagna will be.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a rich and flavorful lasagna. A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and queso Oaxaca is a great option.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna. It should be cooked until the tortillas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
