This is a great hearty vegetarian dish. For the first time in my life I followed directions exactly and still wouldn't change a thing. We had company over for it and they loved it too. I always associate lasagna with a lot of work, but this took 15 minutes to pull together. We used hot salsa and it was also perfect, and I'm not a fan of anything too hot.
Tex-Mex Lasagna
Use different salsa to vary the flavor for this meatless Tex-Mex lasagna. Make it smoky with chipotle salsa, or spice it up with the hot stuff.
