Quick lasagna on tortilla wraps – notes
Today I have a fantastic recipe for you, or rather an idea – because lasagna on tortillas is made like traditional lasagna, but instead of pasta, I used tortilla wraps :)
I admit, I didn’t come up with this idea myself.
Earlier, I saw Nigella Lawson making chili con carne on tortillas and I thought to myself – hmm, interesting …. :)
But since I’m not particularly fond of chili con carne, I eventually forgot about it.
Recently, I had little time and desire to cook, and then I thought about these baked tortillas.
Instead of Mexican filling, I prepared a sauce with minced meat and tomatoes, and a simple bechamel sauce.
This is how this tortilla lasagna was created.

How to make a tortilla and minced meat casserole – tips
I have prepared a short video for you showing the preparation of this dish.
You can, of course, use a Bolognese-style sauce in traditional lasagna, as well as bechamel sauce.
For the meat and tomato sauce, I most often use minced pork and add a can of peeled chopped tomatoes. Instead of tomatoes, you can also use tomato passata.
Bechamel sauce is simple and quick to make, and it goes perfectly with the casserole – so don’t give it up.
First, I melt butter in a pot, then add wheat flour to it – I heat them together briefly (like for a roux). Then I pour in some milk and mix thoroughly, add the rest of the milk and spices.
I cook the sauce until it thickens slightly.
As for the cheese – I only used it on top. I didn’t have block cheese to grate, so I used sliced cheese.
If you want, you can use cheese on every layer, but then the tortilla casserole will have more calories.
As for the tortillas themselves – I had a pack of 5 wraps. So I placed two on the bottom, one in the middle, and two again on top.
I served the minced meat casserole hot with a salad and I must admit, we really enjoyed it :)
It’s not a true lasagna, but it tastes similar enough that it’s perfect for situations when you’re short on time.
Lasagna on tortillas is also a great idea for an unusual dish for a party.
You must try it!
