Mexican Lasagna

We realise that this recipe is by no means a traditional lasagna recipe, this was very much created with more adventurous cooks in mind or just anyone who wants to try something a bit different from time to time. Additionally, if comfort food is what you are looking for, this easy Mexican Lasagna is the best comfort food!
To make a spicy spin on a classic lasagne, we first begin by preparing the lasagna ragu with the addition of our signature Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste into the mix. This brings a lovely smoky chipotle taste into our sauce and adds a whole new level of flavour. If this wasn’t enough, we then made a delicious creamy sauce folding in grated cheddar and more chipotle paste, resulting in an even creamier cheese sauce. This lasagna sauce is then added into the layers of the lasagna, making this recipe even more irresistible. You can avoid using the chipotle paste here if you prefer, but we highly recommend adding it, as your Mexican lasagna won’t taste overly spicy.
Finally, when you’re ready to assemble your lasagna, there’s no need to pre-cook the lasagna sheets. Simply adding enough sauce between the layers and then finishing with a good amount of creamy cheese sauce on top is enough to cook your pasta in the oven. We also recommend covering your healthy Mexican lasagna with tin foil to help achieve this, and then finish cooking it uncovered to get that lovely golden cheesy crust on top.
