BBQ Lasagna

Submitted by Brian121

"This lasagna has a smokey flavor that reminds me of BBQ. It uses corn tortillas instead of pasta. I served it to my family at Christmas and it was a big hit."

There's a neighbor couple I often cook for, & they needed a main course this big last week (grandkids & all visiting), so I made this for them, with the understanding that I have 2 small taste-test servings for the 2 of us! Worked out very well, & the lasagna was wonderfully tasty & satisfying! Now I need to keep the recipe around & make it again sometime for guests of our own! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
