Mexican Lasagna

Mexican food isn’t just about slow cooker tacos or taco casserole –  it’s also about lasagna! 

We are loving this dish right now in our house because it’s easy to make and filled with garden fresh veggies and comforting cheese.   Many times I’ll  prepare this lasagna earlier in the day so all I have to do is turn on the oven and throw it in when it’s dinner time.   Whenever I make this I text Matthew a photo of the lasagna and he’ll text back hearts and swoony faces.    

Back-to- school season is one of the busiest times of the year, and families are on the lookout for easy meals that deliver big on flavor.  This is a lasagna that the family will fall in love with.

This lasagna is filled with veggies that go perfect with the “Mexican” flavor.   Most vegetarian lasagna recipes use eggplant and zucchini but I don’t.  Why?  That’s easy.  We don’t grow those vegetables, hah.  Case closed.  

Instead I use the veggies that are grown in our garden to make this as fresh as possible.  There’s kale, tomatoes, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion and black beans stacked inside 3 layers of lasagna noodles, alongside ricotta and mozzarella cheese.

Mexican Lasagna Ingredients:

• lasagna noodles
• kale
• green pepper
• tomatoes
• onion
• 1 jalapeno
• black beans
• pasta sauce
• taco seasoning (I buy mine in bulk!)
• ricotta
• mozzarella cheese

Easy Lasagna Casserole

For the Mexican flavor add a pack taco seasoning mix.   It doesn’t get much easier than having all your spices in one pack! All you need to do is pour! 

Once the lasagna is prepared, you will cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After that remove the aluminum foil and bake for 5 more minutes so your cheese gets all bubbly and gorgeous!

No more stressing out about what’s for dinner, just make this Mexican Vegetarian Lasagna!

Enjoy this Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna!
