A fabulously easy and delicious take on a favorite — this weeknight chicken lasagna is full of Mexican flavors and uses layers of corn tortillas in place of noodles. Easy to adapt and personalize — try adding sautéed veggies, Spanish rice, diced jalapeño, or even switching out the red salsa for green!
