I'm giving this recipe 4 stars because it was a bit too spicy for my taste. Other than that, it was delicious.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese and more sauce.

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover tortillas. I always have a few tortillas left over after making tacos or burritos, and this is a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The tortillas were too soggy and the cheese didn't melt properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
