Pro Tips:
Layering Magic: To ensure even distribution of flavors, layer the ingredients evenly. Start with a thin layer of the meat mixture, followed by tortillas, and then cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Customize Your Heat: Adjust the spice level by choosing a mild or hot salsa, and feel free to add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
Fresh is Best: Incorporate fresh, quality ingredients for the best taste. Opt for ripe tomatoes, crisp onions, and flavorful cilantro to enhance the overall dish.
Let it Rest: Allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking. This helps the layers set, making it easier to slice and serving a more cohesive dish.
