I'm going to attempt a Mexican lasagna

[baboon]

I was going to do enchiladas with leftover smoked pork butt. Being a fat lazy bastard I don't want to do the rolling of enchiladas so I'll layer it like lasagna.

LOL. I saw the title, and thought, "I don't remember my mom or grandmother, ever making that." Sounds delicious, good luck with that.

My wife makes enchiladas using that method all the time. Sometimes chicken, and sometimes beef. They are pretty danged good. You should really enjoy them with some of that smoked pork butt.

With tortillas instead of pasta?

Enchilada casserole we call it.

It's good. Use as many different cheeses and sauces as you can stand. I like rotel and the sharpest cheddar I can find along with a nice mexican blend and some hot cheese too. All freshly grated off a block. Real cheese not processed or pre grated. Lots of black olives red onion and fire roasted chili peppers of your choice.

Flavorful indeed. I use corn tillas but have used flour tillas too. With or without meat and chilies.

Cant screw it up.

ETA you can even throw some fire roasted corn or pre made street corn in there.

Yes. It's the wife makes it. It's more like an enchilada casserole.

There is a restaurant I eat at and they have a "stacked enchilada" dish on the menu, basically what you described. Delicious, comes with two fried eggs on top and smothered in enchilada sauce.

Sounds almost like a variation on Huevos Rancheros. Interesting.

Yes sir corn tortillas.

Over medium eggs on enchiladas with minced white onions!

Before I build my lasagna I’m going to stuff some more poblanos.

I’m making the sauce for them right now.
White onions, red bell peppers sweated in a link of chorizo. Then chicken broth with American cheese.

Any leftover pulled pork will go into the lasagna. I have some leftover pinto beans and will add mexicorn for color taste & texture. Monterey Jack to top it all.

I love stuffed poblano peppers! I stuff mine with a sausage and cream cheese mix, and wrap them in bacon and cook them in the oven under the broiler or on the grill outside. Makes a great appetizer.

I'm looking forward to hearing how your lasagna turns out. Sounds pretty danged good so far.

I would check with @Higgins909 to see if he has any tips. He researches everything fully!

My wife makes a vegetarian version. Mexicali Lasagna. It was the dish that won my heart almost 18 years ago. Still the one I ask for when I’m asked about what I want for dinner

 

[baboon]

Higgins909 is a youngster! His research is just what I would expect. My guess being his age ain’t as easy as us oldster think it is! While old men like myself only have to worry about the next 20+ years, he still has a lifetime.

Knew I had a pic of my wife's masterpiece. Throw a little tabasco on there and chase it with a house Cab. Can't be beat. I can dig up the recipe if any of y'all are interested. Veggie only. Years ago she got creative and defiled it with chicken once. That was almost a deal-breaker but we worked through it.

Mexican food and Vegetarian is not a thing.

Must be a thing. He ended up marrying her for it.

 

[skfullgun]

"Mexican" Lasagna?
I strongly suggest you use beef, instead.

Truth!!
