Mexican Lasagna
This quickly became a favorite at the Martens household. We have this at LEAST every other week, if not more! The prep time is minimum and the flavor is maximum! BONUS: This makes for the perfect left overs (just ask my father in law…).
Want to really kick it up? Pair it with my elote recipe.

Notes
Salsa: I’ve tried this with all sorts of different brands and textures. Tostitos or Pace chunky salsa seems to work best!
Beans: We prefer this made with pinto beans but you could also use black beans, re-fried beans, etc.
