I first tasted this lasagna at a church potluck more than 20 years ago. I asked for the recipe and have made it many times since. It's one of our favorites.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The lasagna was still delicious.

The lasagna was good, but it was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more sauce next time.
