Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef
¾ cup water
1 (1 ounce) package hot taco seasoning mix
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend, or as needed
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (8 ounce) jar taco sauce
¼ cup sour cream, or as desired

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Pat noodles dry with paper towels.
Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease. Stir water and taco seasoning mix into ground beef; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let meat cool.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Lay a noodle flat on a work surface and place 1 tablespoon seasoned meat at one end of noodle; roll up just to enclose meat filling. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons shredded Mexican cheese blend onto noodle and roll just to cover cheese; sprinkle a few black olives on noodle and roll noodle to the end. Repeat with remaining noodles.
Pour enough spaghetti sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish to cover the bottom; lay rolled noodles with seam sides down into dish over sauce. Spread taco sauce over noodles and spoon remaining spaghetti sauce over the top. Scatter any remaining meat sauce over the rolls and cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and cheese has melted, about 40 minutes. Serve with sour cream on top.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
¼ white onion, chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (26 ounce) jar chunky tomato sauce (such as Ragu®)
3 tablespoons white sugar
18 lasagna noodles
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (12 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Cook and stir ground beef, onion, garlic powder, and oregano in a large skillet over medium heat until onion is tender and beef is browned, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce and sugar; simmer until sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Tips:

If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a can of soup to roll out the tortillas.
If the tortillas are too dry to roll, you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften them up.
Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, or they will be difficult to roll and may break.
If you are using a store-bought enchilada sauce, be sure to taste it first and adjust the seasonings as needed.
You can also make your own enchilada sauce by blending together tomatoes, chili peppers, and spices.
If you are using a slow cooker, cook the lasagna rollups on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
If you are baking the lasagna rollups in the oven, bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the lasagna rollups with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Mexican lasagna rollups are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover tortillas and enchilada sauce, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated later. Whether you are serving them to your family or to your friends, Mexican lasagna rollups are sure to be a hit.
