Lasagna With Mex Appeal

"by Looneyspoons, Janet and Greta Podleski. We had this for dinner tonight and I was impressed. It doesn't taste low-fat at all!I did add canned green chilies for extra heat and flavor, but didn't include it in the list of ingredients, since this isn't my recipe."

  1. What a great idea! I scaled it down quite a bit, as it was only for me. I added paprika aswell as cumin with the salsa & i was very happy with the results. You're sitting on a winner Grace! UPDATE: enjoyed this recipe a few times now :) I had my heart set on making it for dinner the other night, but realized, too late, that we didn't have any salsa. No matter....Chef #1646's Recipe #1078 to the rescue!!
     
  2. Very good! Easy to make and filling. I used medium salsa, but if you like it hot you should probably use hot salsa and maybe add some jalapenos. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. I've made this before and love it! I agree, there's so much flavour going on, you don't even notice that it's low cal or meatless.
     
  4. This is one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite cookbooks. I love all three of their cookbooks! This recipe is delish with a salad. Thanks for posting it!
     
  5. I am loving this recipe! We had this for dinner tonight and DH asked if I could make this once a week, that's a sure sign that he loves it! I used a medium salsa and a few extra sprinkles of cumin, b/c we love cumin and topped with ff sour cream. Perfect amount of spice for us, next time I may add some shredded chicken to the bean mix. Thanks for a great recipe grace!
