This Tex-Mex Lasagna is a delicious twist on traditional lasagna. It’s full of great south of the border flavor and couldn’t be easier to make.

I love one-pot or one-pan meals. They make getting dinner on the table easy and they are great if you are serving a lot of people or if you need to bring a dish to a party.

This recipe for Tex-Mex lasagna totally fits the bill. Not only is it a one-pan meal, it is super easy to put together because it doesn’t involve any cooking or chopping ahead of time.

You assemble the lasagna and pop it in the oven. How easy does that sound?

Originally this recipe was vegetarian, but to make it a little heartier I added shredded pork to the recipe.

If you want a this to be a vegetarian dish, it’s every bit as delicious without the pork. I happened to have shredded pork in my freezer, but if you don’t have any on hand, you could add cooked chicken (a rotisserie chicken would work great).

If you want to make this ahead for later, you can assemble everything but don’t bake it. Cover the pan tightly and refrigerate or freeze. If you’re going to freeze it, you’ll want to thaw it before baking.
