I love having mexican night at our house. I try to make something different everytime. I think this Mexican Lasagna is now on the list of favorites; probably #1. This dish is super easy to make, and I’m sure the family will love it. Instead of using pasta I used whole wheat tortillas. I hope you’ll enjoy!
