Mexican Lasagna

What I love about lasagna is that it takes a little work and tastes good every time.  I’ve never made lasagna for my family that they didn’t like.  And when everyone likes a meal – I call it a win.  I also like that you can put it together and save it for later if you want.  An easy way to do that is to put foil over the top and put the cooking directions, stick it in the freezer and then pull it out when you’re ready to heat up for your family. 

My family loves all kinds of Mexican food and they love lasagna.  This is easy one for me to make everyone happy! The spices in it are pretty mild but you could add more if you prefer.
