Many years ago, I came across one of Rachel Ray’s recipes for a Mexican Lasagna. It was a little too complicated for me, so instead I ended up creating a Mexican pulled pork lasagne recipe using things I have already made. I make salsa verde on a regular basis as well as crockpot carnitas aka shredded pork. I combine them to make tacos, but with this Mexican Lasagna, I have a whole other use for both. This Tex-Mex recipe is so delicious, I hope you love it too!
