The combination of roasted chicken and chorizo is so good, you have to serve this lasagna at your next Mexican-themed meal. The avocado lime cream adds a bit of coolness to offset the recipe's heat. -Kari Wheaton, South Beloit, Illinois

I love the idea of this recipe, but I think I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of cheese, and I would add some vegetables to the sauce.
