EASY TACO LASAGNA

The combination of Italian and Mexican flavors is unexpected, but itโ€™s always well appreciated in my household. This easy taco lasagna is just Mexican food disguised as Italian. Italians know how to do pasta best, while Mexicans really know their spices. When you combine the two, you get a killer combo!

This is not the easiest recipe to follow, but Iโ€™m going to ask you to bear with me. Itโ€™s all going to be worth it at the end! Your family will be so impressed with your cooking that maybe you will decide to make this taco lasagna a staple in your kitchen. You can play with it and create your own variations.

What to serve your taco lasagna with?

This taco lasagna is a complete meal that does not need anything on the side. However, if youโ€™d like to add a different flavor, you can go with a salad. Just a regular tossed salad will do. You can make a Waldorf salad if youโ€™re feeling fancy. Itโ€™s up to you!
