lasagna with minced meat and bechamel

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!

Quick Tortilla Lasagna

Today, I have a great idea for a quick dinner for you. Preparing this ground meat casserole won't take you more than 30 minutes—in fact, I think it will easily take less. After that, you just bake it, and it's ready to enjoy! While the lasagna is in the oven, you can whip up a nice side salad. The four of us shared this tortilla lasagna, and I must admit that with the salad on the side, it was incredibly filling :) So, prepare a quick Bolognese sauce with ground meat and tomatoes, make a simple Béchamel sauce, and put together this ground meat and tortilla bake.
