This dish is definitely rated in my top ten favorites on the blog so far. The layers of flavor of this Mexican inspired lasagna make me smile in delight when I take a bite. The spicyness level depends on a few things: how hot your jalapenos are and how many you use. Mexican lasagna is like a taco casserole, or a layered soft taco. You can change up the fillings layers to anything you want. I do like keeping it pretty simple most of the time. Although I did whip up the sauce portion from scratch, it doesn’t take much time to assemble and bake.
