Mexican Lasagna
Here's what we thought was a new idea...until we realised we kind of did this already as a tortilla stack. But hey in the absence of tortillas lasagne
We are culturally culinarily confused we know, but our palate loved us for it!
We have kind of done something similar to this before with the very popular Mexican Tortilla Stack. We love our Mexican food and so this was an idea that popped into my head one night, as good ideas generally do, and here it is. Very delish! Very easy. Very family friendly. And how good is that Spicy Mexican Salsa? (We are here to remind you that it is really really good and can be used for absolutely LOADS of things!)
So when that old every day Family Lasagne just gets a bit hum drum, or that crazy good Vegetarian version is just a bit old school, try this one. Put it on your menu builder now. (Yes, you have to belong to use that amazing feature! It is time my lovelies. Come join us.
