Mexican Lasagna - So Easy! image

We had the Missionaries and my nephew Scott over for dinner Friday night... All good eaters... along with our big family... They loved this! Noel and I made baked chicken, bar-b-qued pork chops, baked beans and frozen green beans from the garden as sides for the buffet! For desert, we had Jell-O Mell-O's. The entire meal...

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I had some trouble finding corn tortillas, so I used flour tortillas instead. The lasagna still turned out great, but I think the corn tortillas would have been better.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of leftover tortillas and didn't know what to do with them. This lasagna was the perfect solution.

I substituted ground turkey for the beef and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach to the ricotta cheese mixture.
