Mexican Lasagna, Spanish Rice, & Elephant Ears~ Day 31
As I’m sure you can tell, my family loves Mexican food, so I try hard to fix different dishes that can be labeled as that. Today is going to be an easy dish called Mexican Lasagna. If you have tortillas and all the fixings for tacos, this will be an easy one to create. It’s just a layering thing and pop it all in the oven!

And, a meal like this wouldn’t be complete without a crunchy elephant ear! My kids love it when mommy makes these.
Just cut tortillas in half and then each half in thirds. Deep fry in oil and shake in cinnamon sugar!
