Mexican Lasagna

Now that fall is here and the weather is a bit cooler, I’m craving hearty casseroles and soups.  One dish on our dinner table this week is Mexican Lasagna, an easy casserole shared by a running friend back in 2005.

Mexican Lasagna includes a meat sauce flavored with tomatoes, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning, layered with corn tortillas, ricotta, and Mexican cheese blend.

This recipe is good the day it’s made and it also reheats beautifully.
