This is one of the best recipes I have! I make this all the time because I crave it! Yummy!

I made it in two 8 inch pans and froze one for later use. Very yummy and different!!

This was awesome! The flavor is great! The only thing I will do different is either use a smaller pan or double the recipe, and use shredded chicken instead of cubed, as I like chicken in every bite. My older kids loved it.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm thinking I might try this but with ground beef.  I did not think it would ever happen but I am so tired of chicken stuff just the thought turns my stomach. 

This is the best! I think ground beef would not be as good in this at all. I have made this at least 6 times already. Try it with the chicken-you'll love it!

I make this same casserole, only I use corn tortillas instead of lasagna noodles. Either way it is great!

This is the best lasagna! I have made it at least on three different occasions and received compliments each time. It's easy and yummy.

I thought this dish was over-powered by the cilantro. Beware! Other than that I thought this was delicious. I WILL make this again, but with white or green onion instead.

We like green rather than red, so I made this recipe with Green Enchilada sauce (40 oz Las Palmas). I also skipped the cilantro. It was a great meal and had a very firm solid presention, which does not always happen with Lasagna. Next time I will add at least one layer of green chilies. This recipe is very similar to one I have had at Jhonny Carinos.

I thought that this was an excellent dish and was very easy to prepare. I would add that we have a small family, and we cut this one in half and it worked perfectly. It was great having the heartiness of lasagna with the flavor of my favorite Mexican meal.

I make this recipe often. My whole family loves it!

Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. This is definitely a family favorite and the ease of prep can't be beat. I was fortunate enough to star in my own video series /Food Network and this is one of the dishes I chose to prepare. You can see it here: www.recipezaar.com/video

My husband and I loved this! I used shredded chicken, over 2 cups cottage cheese (instead of the ricotta), 1/8 cup dried parsley (instead of the cilantro), and a mozzarella/cheddar cheese blend (instead of the Mexican cheese). Yum! -Lori in WI.
