This is a much requested recipe that my family simply LOVES!
Its fun to throw together and the taste is outstanding!
Its basically a TACO lasagna but we will call it Mexican since some of the ingredients are beyond simply ‘taco’ 🙂 !
You can use flour or corn tortillas – either work but after trying both,
I have to say my family does favor the flour!
You can layer it as many times as you have ingredients.
I love adding extra sour cream and nacho cheese poured over mine 😀
Dinner just got easier!
