Mexican Lasagna is the perfect blend of lasagna and enchiladas. All the delicious components of enchiladas layered up like lasagna, using tortillas instead of lasagna sheets and enchilada sauce instead of tomato sauce. It’s full of veggies, saucy, cheesy and packed full with Mexican flavors.
I use a mix of bell peppers for this recipe, red, green and yellow. I love the color and vibrancy it brings to the dish. You can use all red peppers if you want. I have also made my own Enchilada Sauce, don’t be scared off by the long ingredient list, it is mostly dried spices and the sauce comes together quickly and tastes great in this Mexican Lasagna!

Smear a little Enchilada Sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.
Cut 2 tortillas in half and place in one layer on the sauce.
Top with ¼ of the filling. Drizzle over ¼ of the Enchilada Sauce and 1 deciliter grated cheese.
Repeat with 2 more layers. For the last layer, top the tortillas with the vegetables, sauce and the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and golden. Let it rest for about 5 minutes and garnish with avocado, coriander and creme fraise.
Enjoy!
