Mexican Lasagna

We love vegan lasagna. We also love Mexican cuisine (see where this is going?). So what better than to combine the two in a Mexican lasagna?

This fun twist is packed with big, bold and spicy flavours. We use a go-to chili seasoning mix that is suitable for vegans, which are easy to find in major supermarkets.

The crushed tortillas give this dish a lovely, crunchy texture, which goes really well with the saucy chili.

Enjoy!
