Easy Southwestern Chicken Taco Lasagna Recpe

My family is no different than yours, they’re always challenging me to come up with different dishes to get them to the table. As a Mom, I’m always keenly aware of getting them to eat their vegetables as freely as they reach for other delicious but, not-as-good-for-them-stuff. Being fans of all things spicy Southwestern, Tex-Mex and Mexican food is always a hot favorite.

How to Make the Best Southwestern Chicken Taco Lasagna

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Southwestern Chicken Taco Lasagna: Rotisserie chicken, tostadas or corn tortillas, Rotel Chili Fixin’s tomatoes, garlic salt, chive and onion cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, taco sauce, fresh or frozen corn, black beans, shredded quesadilla cheese or monterey jack cheese, chopped cilantro and salsa sour cream and green onions for serving.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large bowl, measuring cups and spoons, large rubber spatula, 13 x 9 inch baking dish and cheese grater.
Tostadas versus Corn Tortillas: I began making this variation of lasagna using tostada shells and we liked it so much I continued using them instead of corn tortillas for layering. If you prefer, you could use corn tortillas in the same amount to form the “noodles” in this Southwestern version of lasagna.
Rotel Chili Fixin’s tomatoes are already seasoning for chili. You can use classic Rotel tomatoes with green chiles or use another brand of chili ready tomatoes. When making that change, please note that you may need to adjust the seasonings otherwise, adding more taco seasoning to your taste.
You can use mild, medium or spicy taco sauce in this recipe depending on your personal preference.
You can use colby jack cheese or cheddar cheese in the same amount.
Serve this straight from the oven with salsa, a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of crema and it’s a one-dish-meal they’ll come running for when the dinner bell rings.
Store baked Southwestern Chicken Taco Lasagna chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave or in a 350°F oven covered with foil just until heated through.
