My family loved... this recipe. I used velveeta cheese without the peppers and it was just as good. I have added this to my recipe box.

I made this again for about the 4th time and it comes out better every time. My teenage daughter has even made it a few times for us. With a little sour cream on top -- it's superb!

This is great if you love tacos! My family felt as if it were just a fancy way to have taco night...

We loved this lasagna!! I did substitute corn tortillas though because they don't get soggy like flour.

This a really good and simple dish. You can spice it up as much as you want. My kids, who are NOT into spicy stuff, eat this up every time. It's also great to make on "babysitter nights" ahead of time and stick it in the fridge for later. Keeps well, and reheats just fine. We really like this.
