This sounds yummy...I've been wanting to make lasagna but am kinda bored with the traditional way of making it. This is a great way to spice things up, but I'm not a fan of corn so I'm thinking of adding a colorful mix of bell peppers would be nice!

I have never tried lasagna made this way and I am not sure if I would like it or not, since it seems like Mexican and Italian mixed. But, I think it looks good and I like everything that is used in it, so I will probably try it at some point.

I make red lasagna, white lasagna, veggie lasagna, and now I can add chili lasagna to my recipes! I use the no preboil needed lasagna noodles all the time, and they're good and makes making lasagna even easier. The easier it is, the more often we can enjoy it!

I made this following the recipe, then again substituting nacho flavored chips for the pasta, both were DELICIOUS! Thanks

I think you could use flour tortillas.... I also use flour tortillas when I make chicken and dumplings. They are made with flour, shortening and water just like the homemade dumplings so why not? Saves time and make you look good in the process.

Looks really good. I wonder how it would work with flour tortillas instead of lasagne noodles.

This is delicious !! Didn't use the entire 2 cans of chili though. Be sure to drain the lasagna noodles well. I was in a hurry & didn't, so mine turned out a little too juicy. Don't omit the green onions .. they MAKE the recipe.
