Mexican Lasagna

I found this recipe this week and thought it sounded a little strange, but still wanted to try it.

This is my Great Taste For the Week! 

I was worried it wouldn't be liked, but my husband loved it!

A different way to serve Lasagna! 

Try it and see if you like it. *Note: can be cut in half if it needs to be.
