A fabulously easy and delicious take on a favorite - this lasagna is full of Mexican flavors and uses layers of corn tortillas in place of noodles. Easy to adapt and personalize - try adding sauteed veggies, Spanish rice, diced jalapeno, or even switching out the red salsa for green!

This was a great recipe! It was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
