Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, stir in the lasagna noodles, about 3 or 4 at a time, and return to a boil. Cook the noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, and lay the cooked noodles flat on waxed paper or aluminum foil while you finish cooking the rest of the noodles.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, and spread the salsa evenly over the bottom of the dish.
- Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and cook and stir the meat, breaking it up as it cooks, until the meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain the fat, and place the meat in a large bowl.
- Mix cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese into the meat. Place a cooked lasagna noodle out flat, and spread about 1/3 cup of the cheese and meat mixture along the length of the noodle. Roll up the noodle, and place the filled rolls, seam sides down, into the prepared baking dish. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the queso sauce over each roll. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is hot and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Uncover the dish, and spread the Mexican cheese blend over the rolls. Return to the oven, and bake until the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 more minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the lasagna noodles, stirring occasionally, 1 minute longer than the package directs for al dente. The pasta should be tender enough so that it will roll without cracking. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, combine the chicken, jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, garlic, 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1 tablespoon sour cream and the scallion whites in a large bowl until well combined.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on to the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Lay half the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean work surface and spread a scant 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture over a noodle, covering it entirely. Starting with the short end, roll the noodle up. Transfer to the prepared baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining noodles and chicken mixture. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the lasagna rolls, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover with foil and bake until the rolls are heated through and the sauce is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese is browned on top, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stir 2 tablespoons water into the remaining sour cream and drizzle over the top of the noodles. Sprinkle with the scallion greens.

SOUTHWEST LASAGNA ROLLS
"We love this south-of-the-border lasagna," Trisha Kruse writes from Eagle, Idaho. "The cheesy dish comes together fast with a carton of vegetarian chili, and makes a great entree served with a green salad and baked tortilla chips."

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Use high-quality corn or flour tortillas that are pliable and won't break when rolling. Freshly made tortillas are ideal, but store-bought tortillas can also be used.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: When filling the tortillas, be careful not to overfill them, as this will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: Roll the tortillas tightly to ensure that the filling is evenly distributed and to prevent the tortillas from unrolling.
- Use a nonstick skillet: Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to cook the lasagna roll-ups to prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the lasagna roll-ups, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve immediately: Serve the lasagna roll-ups immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and the cheese is melted.
