This Tex-Mex Mexican Lasagna recipe might be just what you need for a change out of your normal weeknight-dinner-rut! My friend Misty was actually sweet enough to make the recipe and then share it with us here today- I tried out the leftovers before snapping a picture this morning and they were oh-s0 good. (Nothing like Mexican Lasagna for breakfast, right?) 😉
My mother-in-law made a similar recipe for these years ago and I'd forgotten all about it, but when I saw the sales ad at Publix this week I knew it was worth trying out. Here's the recipe so you can treat your family too!
