Tex-Mex Lasagana ala Cooking Light

My apologies to my friends at CEiMB, but I just could not get to this weeks chosen recipe. The recipe was chosen by MacDuff of Lonely Sidecar and she chose the Lobster or Shrimp Roll. You can find the recipe here on Food Network or on Lonely Sidecar.

As it happens whenever I skip a recipe, I'm sure I will be kicking myself for not carving out the time for this as I peruse the blogs of my fellow CEiMB members. Maybe I can get to it in the future.

In the meantime, I give you a Tex-Mex Lasagna that I made last week and that has been patiently waiting in my draft folder for me to get my act together.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a simple, easy, and meatless main dish meal that I found pretty satisfying. It was perfect on a day that was full of things to do. I put it together in the morning and it was waiting for me in the afternoon, ready to go into the oven.


Although Marc liked it, he was looking for some meat in his lasagna. But I really liked it the way it was. I especially like that this gives you 4 fairly large servings from an 8 x 8 dish. The leftovers were tasty, too.


You can find the recipe here. Oh, one note. I did add a single chopped chipotle pepper to my salsa, just for a little bit of smokiness. And I also used a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Yum.

This recipe is from Cooking Light. (I know...what a big surprise!) You can find the recipe here.

Yum, this looks amazing! I'm bookmarking this recipe as I love all Italian and Mexican foods!!

I also chickened out on this weeks CEiMB as I don't like seafood and was a bit pooped out from last weekends baking-extravaganza.....

That looks terrific! I know I'd like it but my husband would revolt if I tried to feed him a dinner that didn't include meat. :)

I always make anything Tex-Mex with tortillas, but I'm not smart enough to realize it would be so good with actual lasagna noodles!

This reminds me of some enchiladas that Sara makes that I really enjoy (though TBH I'm always looking for meat too).

Megan said...

Ha ha - men are so funny, always looking for the "main part" of a dish, namely meat.

I think it looks great!

Ever since you posted this I've wanted to try it. And I must tell you -- I think your pictures look WAY more appetizing than on the website with the recipe!
