This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lasagna, but this recipe was really good. The tortillas added a nice touch and the fajita seasoning gave it a great flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This lasagna was okay, but I've had better. The tortillas were a bit too soft for my taste and the fajita seasoning was a bit bland.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little extra cheese and sour cream, and sometimes I'll even add some chopped avocado.
