This dish came from an adaption of a Taste of Home Mexican Lasagna recipe. It quickly became a favorite for my husband as he went back for THIRDS!! One of the major adaptions was that I used taco sauce instead of the salsa that it calls for in the original recipe. I do not particularly care for salsa which is why I adapted it; however, if you are a salsa fan then I am sure it will taste delicious!
This recipe is now regularly on our menu plan as my husband could not resist it. This is a good one for the kids as well!
Enjoy!
