Chicken Chorizo Lasagna image

The combination of roasted chicken and chorizo is so good, you have to serve this lasagna at your next Mexican-themed meal. The avocado lime cream adds a bit of coolness to offset the recipe's heat. -Kari Wheaton, South Beloit, Illinois

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but this lasagna was still really good. The chicken and cheese were flavorful and the lasagna was cooked perfectly.

This lasagna was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it was still delicious.

This lasagna was a hit with my family! The chicken and chorizo were perfectly cooked, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
