These Mexican lasagna roll ups basically taste like enchiladas meet lasagna, and let me tell you it is a beautiful thing. My lasagnas don’t ever turn out that great so roll ups are my “go to” fix!

They are saucy, cheesy and easy to serve to a large crowd. I wanted to add a little bit of smoky flavor to this dish for some depth so I tried this new chipotle pepper powder but if you cannot find that, a spoon of chipotle in adobo sauce would be an easy replacement!
