I ground my own chicken breasts for this recipe, and used corn torillas instead of the spinach tortillas mentioned in the recipe. I also served it with a dollop of sour cream. Needless to say, this was a hit with my husband!
Yummy, Easy-to-Make Mexican Dish!

This Mexican Lasagna is one of the best I have tasted and I have sampled quite a few! It is very easy to make and the ingredients I used blended well together. I used what I had on hand: one pound of cooked chicken breast, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, pinto beans and garlic pesto tortillas instead of their counterparts and the dish was superb! Thanks, Rachael, this one's definitely a keeper!
Spicy hit!

We just tried this for the first time tonight and it was awesome! I put the tortillas in the oven for a few minutes to make them a little crispy and I think it really helped keep the dish from getting too soggy. I also baked it for about 20 minutes and it turned out GREAT! My fiancee asked that we add this to our favorites!

I do love rachael ray but her food is not that good. I have tried a few of her recipes and most just are plain gross and this one really falls on that list. I made it exactly as the recipe calls with the chicken and it was soggy and bland. My entire family hated it. Sorry Rach, maybe next time!
Really good!

This is a great recipes. I just use regular flour tortillas and they are fine, after cooking, they get just like noodles. I've used both ground turkey & beef, either way is delicious. I use the Hunts petite diced tomatoes w/green chili's and one time I didn't have taco sauce on hand so I just pureed a jar of medium salsa with a couple TBSP of water and it worked perfect. I usually make it on Sunday and it is in the fridge all week, my son will have this after baseball, just microwave to reheat & it's just like the first day it was made.

I make this dish all the time for my boyfriend and we love it!! I modify the recipe every time and it always turns out great, it's an indestructible recipe!! I rotate between ground beef and ground turkey, depends how we feel. This time I chopped 3 small jalape?o leaving most of the seeds in (we like spicy!!) and added it to the ground turkey and onion. I also put in a whole can of black beans and chopped black olives. I use the green spinach tortillas every time, but your favorite would be fine, too. I also have learned to layer more than she recommends. Use a deep casserole dish and don?t get too heavy on the filling in between or else it can get messy when you go to serve it. Have fun, it?s such an easy dish waiting for your personal modifications.
FAN-tastic!

Love this recipe. I made it for my family when I was living at home for a month over a year ago. My picky brother loved it, and my stepfather who is a self-proclaimed Tex-Mex foodie gave rave reviews as well. Made this last week for the bf and used ground beef instead. GREAT flavor (just not sure how healthy). I use both the tomatoes and the sauce to ensure the meat doesn't dry out, especially when reheating. If using the ground chicken or turkey add a bit of garlic powder and a few splashes of green tabasco sauce to ensure more flavor and some heat. When layering on the cheese I also sprinkle on chopped cilantro. Definitely adds a 'wow' factor to an already awesome dish. In fact, I never get any of the leftovers as they disappear the next day!

This is absolutley one of the best leftovers I have ever had. As everyone else did we modified our recipe too. We used ground beef instead of chicken, took out the corn (didn't add much), and add both the taco sauce and fire roasted tomatoes. We also use regular flour tortillas instead of the spinach. I have not served this dish to anyone that didn't love it or want the recipe.
A Nice One Dish Meal

I made a vegetarian version of this meal by substituting fake chicken. I added taco seasoning rather than using a lot of taco sauce in order to make the mixture thicker and spicier. I also added a layer of Mexican rice (I really like Bobby Flay's green rice). Overall, I would recommend this recipe with a few modifications.

I'm not a big corn person so I left that out and instead of chicken i did beef with the black beans. It really was very good. My fiancee is not a big mexican food person but he enjoyed it to. You need sour cream and salsa on top after it's plated and that really sets it off.

User: Nancy from Fairlawn, OH User Rating:
I made the Mexican Lasagne with ground turkey and a little less chili powder. Tip in freezing: I brown the ground turkey with spices and freeze it. Then when I am ready, I thaw and add salsa/corn/ etc to the mixture and I save a lot of time and it is always great and fresh because I don't add my torillas until I am ready to bake them. Tip: Cut fat with Fat Flush sprouted flourless protein tortillas. They are yummy and help make this dish healthy too. Hat's off to you Rachel this is a winner.

This is very easy to make and doesn't take much time in the kitchen. My husband really liked it. I thought it was sort of bland but I really like spicey food. But alas my husband is not a real spicey food kind of guy so it was perfect for him and the kids. I spiced up my portion with some hot taco sauce as a garnish.

I am so glad I always read reviews before I try a recipe - with this one, I heeded previous reviewers' advice and I used a slotted spoon to transfer the tomato mixture to the baking dish, leaving the excess liquid in the pan I heated it in. My husband didn't like this dish so much, I liked it with hard corn tostadas to add a little crunch and texture to the dish.

This recipe is a favorite at my house! It is very easy to make with ingredients I generally have at my house all the time, and cost effective. I have shared this reipe with my poor-college-student sisters and this is very easy for them to make on a limited budget. I make this with any meat I happen to have in my freezer, and when I don't have any meat I usually have some canned chicken in the cupboard. Leftovers are great but not very abundant, we usually finish off the entire pan when made!

We used 1/2 lb lean ground beef instead of the chicken and salsa instead of taco sauce. We also added black olives, spinach, extra corn and chipotle peppers to make up for the missing beef. The chipotle peppers gave it a nice spice. To keep the dish from becoming soggy we left the beef/bean mixture on the stove for 10 minutes on high to reduce the liquid.

I went home and tried the recipe based on watching Rachael make this on her 30 minute meal show.

I used kidney beans instead of black beans. It was still YUM-O! Make this one and enjoy!

I made this for dinner and my husband and kids really liked it. I think next time I'll substitute tortilla chips for the flour tortillas to see if it will give it a crunch. And I added garlic salt to the meat mixture (and used ground beef). I will definitely make this one again. Great with sour cream! (Didn't care for the fruit-veg salad that she made with it.)

User: Rich from Gulf Breeze, FL User Rating:
I watched the show before making this and that was helpful. Basically, this is a taco filling recipe used as a lasagna. RR emphasizes that you can substitute as needed and still have a great recipe. For instance, I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it was great. You can use ground beef, any type of beans, onions, tortillas, etc. I used the 1-1/4 package of meat and it still made more than enough for a 9x13 pan. I waited until all the ingredients for the filling were cooked before thinking about salt and it was a good thing because it was just fine without it. In the future I might consider adding green peppers or chopped green chilies. RR also mentions adding rice. Definitely a keeper! So easy to do you don't need a recipe. Everyone will love it.

This was a really great recipe! I made some minor changes... I dont like beans very much, so I used mexican flavored rice. Also, I used green enchilada sauce instead of stewed tomatoes, and I added some lime flavored tortilla chips in between meat mixture and cheese, as well as on top for extra flavor and crunch. Of course, I added tons more cheese than the recipe called for, cause you can never have too much! Took no time at all, and even my picky boyfriend loved it!

This was easy to make. I did use ground chicken, but I also threw in some diced red peppers, 1 can of sliced olives, 1 can diced mild green chiles,(all staples in my pantry) 2 TBS of tomatoe paste (I always ahave a tube of it on hand), and some leftover salsa. It still lacked something. Aha! Rachael uses chipotles in adobo sauce a lot, and she had said you can freeze the unused portion in a ziploc bag. Brilliant! So, I chopped off a piece of frozen chipotle in adobo (careful, it's HOT) and it gave that final kick that I wanted. Oh, I used cooking spray and started with a layer of flour tortillas. That makes serving easier, I think. I also threw in an unfinished bag of corn chips in the middle, which worked out. A few sliced olives on top makes a nice garnish, too. Will make this again and again, and it's fast!

We love this recipe as-is, but we've changed it up a little for ourselves and love it even more. We subsitute the chicken for lean ground beef and the black beans for whole pinto and leave out the corn, also we use regular flour or corn tortillas depending on what we have on hand, it's delish!

I make this a lot and it's always turns out well. Very easy and quick. Just open a bunch of cans! Husband loves it. One time I didn't have tortillas so I used tortilla chips I had and it turned out perfectly and actually not as soggy as with the actual tortillas.

We have this one memorized we make it so often. Our friends who we invite to dinner always ask, "Are you making the Mexican Lasagna?" and I have to do it. We use ground turkey instead of the chicken and we alternate the layering in the dish.

Extremely quick and easy, and versatile! Sometimes I'll use chunky salsa in place of the taco sauce, or cut the meat to 1 lb. and add another can of beans. It's always delicious, though!

My husband and I loved the Mexican Lasagna; I used half the meat and the recipe still yielded enough to make an extra lasagna and freeze it. I let the sauce simmer for a while so it would thicken and added jalapenos and garlic. It wasn't soupy at all, and the tortillas were the perfect texture. Thank you for another quick, easy, go-to recipe, Rachael!

I wasn't sure about this recipe as I was making it..thought the flavor might be bitter or overwhelming with the chili powder, but it was great! I had to use a mixture of ground chicken and ground turkey (I didn't have enough of either on had) and I used both pepper jack and chedder cheese..my husband loved it, took it to work the next day for lunch and his coworkers thought it smelled great and wanted the recipe!
Very good!

I made this recipe with ground beef instead of chicken, using jalapeno cilantro tortillas and draining half of the tomato juice. It turned out great! I made it with the hope of having a lot of leftovers and it gets better each night! Next time I may add a little more spice (I like spicy foods) but it was good as is!

I was very unsure that this recipe would be as good as Rachel Ray said it is until I made it myself. Also, every other "healthy" ground turkey recipe I had ever made was horrible. This recipe was using ground chicken so I though it may be different and it was. Not only is this recipe delicious but it's quicker than getting take out! lol.. My husband who's the most difficult picky eater ever absolutely loved it! The very next week after trying it for the first time I invited my Mother n Law over for dinner to try it. She has allergies to pasta/flour etc.. so she can't have very much. The tortilla's was a good comprimise for her. Thanks so much for such an awesome recipe Rachel! Sincerely, Carrie Preston

This tasted great and it was easy (important for a cooking novice like myself)! Had some of the filling leftover so I used it in burritos a couple of days later. Very tasty also! I added the stewed tomatoes with the taco sauce but next time I won't; this resulted in the "soupy" texture as posted by some other reviewers. Also ommitted the black beans and used extra corn.

Like many reviewers I used ground turkey. I drained the slightly cooked meat and then added the spices, onion etc. This was also good the next day reheated. I served it topped with sour cream, green onions, and sliced black olives. One important note..do not confuse tortillas with "wraps". Wraps may look like tortillas but they are more chewy and tough. Any tortilla, plain, fancy, flour or corn will work perfectly. Thanks Rach. You did it again!

I used Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles in it and La Victoria mild green taco sauce and used about 1 Tbsp chili powder. I also used the spinach herb tortillas in it. I used Colby Jack cheese and this came out great and will be made again. Everyone loved it and it's well worth trying. Very easy and very satisfying, makes a large amount!
