Combine Your 2 Favorite Cuisines With This Kid-Approved Recipe

Hey, everyone! So, today I have a real treat for you. Who is in the mood for both Italian and Mexican cuisine? I know, I know, it sounds a little weird but trust me, you’re going to LOVE this recipe! Now, I’ll tell you right off the bat that I know my picture looks a little different from what the recipe calls for but that is because I added and subtracted some ingredients. That’s the beauty of this whole cooking thing…you can personalize your dish to meet your needs! My kids don’t like black olives and my hubby hates corn so I left those ingredients out.

I opted to add some red kidney beans to the mix because that’s what I had on hand and hey, they ended up tasting darn good in this Mexican lasagna!

This is a great after-church casserole or better yet, a dish to pass at a potluck supper. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Serve this yummy lasagna with your favorite taco toppings like sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

I love lasagna. It reminds me of the birthday parties when my mom had no idea what to serve the hungry crowd so she would either cater or make her own lasagna. She always said it was cheap to make or buy and easy to serve and totally filling. She did not need to buy sides (unless she really wanted garlic bread) and did not need to buy special plates for this. Regular ol’ paper plates would do and really made her life easier.

After some time of making regular lasagna, she tried her luck at other varieties. For a while she was making a plantain lasagna which I must admit, was absolutely delicious. That lasagna was layers of fried plantains, white cheese and ground beef. Man, was it good! After a stint making that, she tried a new kind: Mexican lasagna. This was a delicious, hearty and filling meal of layers of Mexican goodness which turned into what seemed like a lasagna. I will admit, it was probably even better than the classic one she used to make. Loaded with cheese, nachos, ground beef, veggies, queso dip and more, you really cannot go wrong with it. This was the dish I have always wanted but never knew about!

Sally, my next door neighbor, and I were discussing all of the many ways that lasagna can be prepared. I, of course was rattling off most of the Italian ways. Meanwhile, sally was getting ready to tell me about the Mexican way. Boy, am I ever glad that she did.

Mexican lasagna is so simple to make and absolutely delicious to eat. It’s layer after layer of all of the beloved ingredients that makes Mexican food so good. I served this meal with all the fixings such as sour cream, refried beans, and salsa. I found that this casserole is also very good when scooped up with taco chips. Yum!
