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.

Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna

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

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!

      You absolutely can! Just make sure to defrost overnight and then bake as usual (you might need to add a additional 15 minutes!). Enjoy the lasagna!

    Wanted to try this recipe but was t sure if I should sauté the veggies first. Not a big fan of crunchy veggies after I bake a dish! Should they be soften first !!

      Hey Peggy, I don’t really think they require additional cooking. The only suggestion I have is to make sure to add the kale to the boiling water, per recipe instructions, so it’s not crunchy. With that said, if you really want to saute the veggies before hand, you totally can! Hope you enjoy this lasagna!

    I tried this recipe cut in half, using a smaller baking dish and also left off one layer. I substituted cottage cheese on hand for ricotta. I used oven ready pasta. Turned out great!!! I’ll be making this again 🙂

      Hey Mary, 13×9 is pretty average for a lasagna pan. As long as it can fit 3 rolls of noodles across it will do the job. Enjoy!

        Thank you sooooo very much. Next, will pick up necessary ingredients next week on my grocery stocking trip. Only go to town once a week… pretty isolated here.

    I’ve made many Vegetarian Lasagna and always include the zucchini and eggplant so when I sat down and started reading this post I was blown away when you included kale, tomatoes, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion and black beans. It truly blew my mind and I can’t wait to try it out for myself.
