PERFECT MEXICAN LASAGNA

I got this recipe from Robin Miller's Quick Fix Meals. I have made this several times and my husband loves it. And it is so easy to make! I usually just buy Tyson's ready cooked chicken breast strips (two 6oz pkgs) pre-seasoned with southwestern spices. I sometimes use multi-grain flour tortillas, when I can find them in the store.

THE PERFECT LASAGNA



The Perfect Lasagna image

This is the best lasagna I have ever had. A friend taught me by cooking it with me. I've guessed at the actual amounts used, so feel free to do your own amending.

Provided by Ennui on Rice

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground beef
5 slices bacon
6 ounces stewed tomatoes
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 green pepper
6 mushrooms
7 olives
6 sun-dried tomatoes
red wine
balsamic vinegar
salt
pepper
oregano
2 cups milk
1 -2 cup flour
3 -4 tablespoons parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese
lasagna sheet

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms, bacon, olives and sun dried tomatoes before you start to cook.
  • Cook the onions and garlic first.
  • Add the beef and brown about half-way through.
  • Add green pepper, mushroom, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and bacon.
  • Add the stewed tomatoes. Cut them apart with the spatula or a knife as you add them.
  • Add as much red wine and balsamic vinegar as you wish. (I think the secret of the lasagna is in the wine and vinegar though, so I add about 3 tablespoons and a 1/4 of a cup).
  • Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
  • Let the sauce stew as long as needed (the longer the better).
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk gently in a saucepan.
  • Add the flour gradually, stirring constantly. Add the parmesan cheese to the sauce as well.
  • When the white sauce is thicker than pancake mix (about 10 minutes), remove from heat.
  • In an 8x8 or round lasagna dish, layer like this: meat layer, lasagna sheet, white sauce.
  • Finish with a white sauce layer and cover with mozzarella cheese.
  • Cook at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for Mexican lasagna, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soak them in warm water for a few minutes before assembling the lasagna. This will help to prevent them from cracking.
  • Use a variety of fillings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to fillings for Mexican lasagna. Some popular options include shredded chicken, ground beef, black beans, corn, and cheese. You can also add vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. The great thing about Mexican lasagna is that it's a very versatile dish. You can customize it to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less cheese, or you can use different types of cheese. You can also add different spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Mexican lasagna is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded lettuce. You can also add a dollop of Mexican crema or a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

Conclusion:

Mexican lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover tortillas and it's also a great way to feed a crowd. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Mexican lasagna a try. You won't be disappointed.
