This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still delicious. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and freeze.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, so I omitted it from this recipe. It was still really good.

I had a hard time finding corn tortillas, so I used regular flour tortillas instead. It still turned out great!
