My friend Jen says this is her "fav recipe everrrrr: (because i'm italian and bad at rolling enchiladas)."

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 clove garlic
1 tsp oregano
pinch salt

Also need:
6 inch corn tortillas
3-4 cups shredded cheese
any other condiments you like - green onions, sour cream, salsa

Add onions and salt, sweat for 4-6 minutes

  2. Hi,
    I too love making lasagna and have made many.What interesting about a lasagna is that you can have any number of combinations of fillings. Sometimes I simply add all the veges that my kids won't eat otherwise like leeks and spinach.
