Directions
V’s Mexican Lasagna,I was going to make chicken enchiladas and realized I didn’t have tortillas so I switched it up a bit and came up with a Mexican Lasagna instead. It’s a big hit and always requested in my house. I was honored to have it Published in SeptOct Issue of Taste of Home Simple & Delicious…pg 56!,I made this tonight using leftover Mexican pulled pork instead of chicken because that’s what I had on hand. The pork was heavily seasoned with chilli powder, chipotle powder, oregano, etc. I was looking for a recipe that would tame and smooth out the seasonings a bit and this did the trick. Mixing the pork with the enchilada sauce/onions/garlic and letting it cook a bit before layering was just what it needed. The lasagna noodles work so much better than tortillas in this type of recipe because I always have trouble with the tortillas getting tough and difficult to cut through. I did cook my noodles first because that’s the kind I had and since I did that, I eliminated the second smaller can of sauce. There was plenty of sauce. I also used small curd cottage cheese because I didn’t want to go to the store for ricotta. We served this topped with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce. We loved it! Thanks for posting the recipe.,Absolutely fabulous!!!

Quick Tips: I Buy a Roasted Chicken Already Cooked and Cut It Up. My Family Doesn't Like Onion So use a Grater to Mince Onion to Make It So Small They Don't See It in the Dish. Also, I Buy a Pkg of Mexican Blend Cheese That Already Has Two Cups of the Cheddar and Jack. |
