Fajita Lasagna

Fajita Lasagna
Fajita Lasagna

 

This may look like a complicated lasagna recipe, but it's not. It just takes a few layers and time to bake in the oven and you will have a wonderfully, spicy, cheesy Mexican style lasagna. Now of course this recipe was really just another awesome excuse to use tomatillos!

We chose no-boil lasagna to make the assembly a breeze. If your family loves lasagna and Mexican food, then this fusion dish is certain to be a big hit at the dinner table. It also makes wonderful leftovers (as any good lasagna should).

This is a good source of protein and is low in sodium, but a bit high in fat and cholesterol.
