These Enchilada Lasagna Rolls have all the great flavors of a classic chicken enchilada recipe, but we’re ditching the tortillas and wrapping the filling inside some lasagna noodles… and the result is simply delicious!
Enchilada Lasagna
Today we’re putting an Italian twist on one of my favorite Mexican dishes! One of the things I love most about these enchilada lasagna rolls is how simple they are to put together. It calls for only 4 ingredients that are easy to keep on-hand, which makes for a stress-free weeknight dinner that is ready in no-time at all!
If you have a favorite enchilada recipe, by all means, use it for the filling of this recipe! Here is our favorite semi-homemade enchilada recipe, including the only brand of store-bought sauce I will ever buy!
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
How to Make Enchilada Lasagna
To make Enchilada Lasagna Rolls, drizzle some enchilada sauce on the bottom of a casserole pan. Add a couple heaping spoonfuls of enchilada mixture to the end of a lasagna noodle, then roll it up! Place the lasagna roll seam side down in your casserole dish and repeat until your dish is full (about 10 rolls). Cover with more sauce, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 20 minutes!
