Mexican Lasagna

This is one of those recipes that may not sound like a good idea, but it is Delicious! It is also very easy to assemble now, and bake later on. Just cover well and refrigerate until you are ready to cook. It also keeps well in a warm oven if everyone is not ready to eat at the same time. Enjoy :)
