So this recipe is adapted from my popular Low Carb Lasagna recipe – but this Mexican inspired version is MUCH easier! In fact, preparation time is super short, which (usually for a homemade lasagna) makes it ideal for a weeknight meal!

The key differences are that I use salsa to create instant flavor, and there is no white sauce. Like in my Italian version, I've used low carb tortillas which are an amazingly good replacement for lasagna sheets. They absorb the flavors of the sauce and are super soft after baking.

This keto lasagna with low carb tortillas is fantastic for when you need some comfort food! Plus you can make it as spicy as you like by changing the salsa or by adding hot sauce or chipotle powder!
