Gluten Free Mexican Lasagna

 

The first time I had this was right after we brought our first kiddo home from the hospital and lots of wonderful friends & family brought us meals. This was one we fell in love with right away and just had to have the recipe! Also, since it’s so easy to throw together & heats up really well this is also one of my go-to freezer meals. Top with some sour cream and/or guacamole and it won’t disappoint.

  1. Yummy! I never thought to call it Mexican Lasagna, we make something similar but call it Enchilada Casserole. Have you ever used Fage yogurt? I substitute it for sour cream. Much healthier and it tastes like sour cream! Thank you

  2. Mmm, sounds and looks yummy! 🙂
    Just wanted to let you know we decided we're going to try Floradix instead of poly-vi-sol! At least until her next iron test! Floradix has no preservatives or artificial colors at least. 🙂
