It might not be your typical Italian lasagna, but it’s packed with Mexican flavor and can easily be adjusted based on the type of salsa you use.

What’s the difference between Tex-Mex lasagna and regular lasagna, you ask? For starters, the meat sauce is a delicious mixture of tomato sauce, taco seasoning, and chopped hatch green chiles. The other main difference is that the noodles are replaced by layers of corn tortillas. This is basically a taco in lasagna form.

It is certainly balanced enough to make a one-dish meal satisfying for me, but you could certainly serve it with a Southwestern-inspired side salad, grilled corn, or some spicy black beans. If you can’t find Hatch chiles in your hometown, roasted Poblano chiles would be a great substitute in this recipe. You can also substitute another brand of green enchilada sauce if you can’t find the Hatch brand.

Here are some other good accompaniments for this recipe homemade Classic Mexican Guacamole, Raw Salsa Using Cherry Tomatoes and some Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars for dessert.
