Healthy Mexican Lasagna

I can't take a single ounce of credit for the original version of this recipe! All credit goes to Madi Nelson. Her blog is also linked here! I'm sure you're all already following her, but if not, do it ASAP.

She is the sweetest, most genuine follow! I have been following her for years now and love her so much!

She originally shared this Mexican Lasagna recipe 2-3 years ago. She makes it frequently and it's been on my list to make for a long time now, I just kept forgetting about it!

Her version is by no means unhealthy, but I knew with just a few tweaks I could increase the protein, add some veggies, etc. So that's what I did!

I'm posting her recipe below, so please tag her if you try this!

Recipe Notes

This recipe is INSANELY good and perfect for a weeknight family meal. This could even be prepped a few days ahead of time, and then you can throw it in the oven when you're ready to make it!

It's definitely not spicy at all, and 100% kid friendly. Especially if you're using mild salsa, but feel free to use sriracha, hot salsa, jalapenos, etc. The recipe can definitely be tailored to what you like!

I serve this recipe with greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), shredded lettuce, pickled onion, and a little extra salsa!
