Happy Cinco de Mayo! As a former Spanish major I feel obligated to point out that this holiday is an American invention and not actually celebrated in Mexico, but it is still a delicious excuse to eat lots of Mexican food! (Also it always makes me think of the Sinko de Mayo joke)
I recently discovered ¡Sabor! by Texas Pete® Mexican-Style Hot Sauce. It has a delicious smoky, spicy tomato flavor that really adds to any Mexican dishes. While it is delicious on top of tacos, nachos, etc., I thought it would be fun to try adding it into a dish. And what better excuse to experiment with Mexican food than today?
My mom made a version of Mexican lasagna growing up, and I remember thinking it was legit Mexican food. I thought it was cool that there were two different countries that had lasagna and I asked my mom what other country’s lasagnas she could make. Eight-year-old Emily wanted to try French lasagna too! (Although now that I think about it, Indian lasagna could be pretty good…)
This recipe is super easy and delicious- I think of it as a cheater’s version of enchiladas! You can cook your own chicken for the shredded chicken or you can even use part of a rotisserie chicken if you want to make it even easier. And don’t forget the margarita!
