Deconstructed Mexican Lasagna

Think of this Mexican Lasagna as enchiladas’ easier, one-pan cousin. You get all the saucy, cheesy, tortilla-layered goodness without having to roll a single thing. It’s hearty, filling, and flexible, cuz instead of pork you could use beef, turkey or even chicken. And with this simple cabbage slaw on the side, it's perfect for weeknights when you want comfort food that doesn’t feel like work. And...it feeds 4 (maybe even 6) for under $15.
