Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Layer ingredients properly: Ensure the layers are arranged in the correct order and thickness for the best texture and taste.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This includes fresh tortillas, flavorful cheeses, tender meat, and vibrant vegetables.
- Don't overcook the tortillas: Briefly fry them to make them pliable but not crispy. Overcooked tortillas can become tough and chewy.
- Season each layer generously: Use a combination of spices, herbs, and sauces to add depth of flavor to each layer.
- Bake until golden brown and bubbly: The lasagna should have a slightly crispy top and a gooey, melted cheese interior.
- Let it settle before slicing: Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before cutting into it. This helps the layers hold together better and prevents them from falling apart.
