Is the Mexican Lasagna Kid-Friendly?

[susanr613]

Sounds like the Mex las is a big hit...and I wonder how it has gone over with your kids? My DS is 12 but very picky, so I am always on the lookout for food that he might eat. He likes tacos.

Thanks!

I think so. If he doesn't like onions you could omit them or finely chop them. My husband is a picky eater and he loves that dish.

I think it would be a hit. It's like a big layered burrito. And if you know he's picky, you can always change it to suit (delete onion, etc.).

I made it this afternoon with good intentions to take it to my hubby's school where he is principal to have them taste test it....I didn't get it made in time so my kids are now taste testing it for me...I was a little set back from it at first because it wasn't setting up but now a few hours later (and me draining off some excess enchilada sauce (with the baster) it looks perfect. It also didnt have much taste...I used the mild red enchilada sauce and it is kind of bland.. I sprinkled SW seasoning mix on it after wards and also drizzled some of the green enchilada sauce (I had bought both kinds) over the top..this seemed to help. My kids are eating it, and they are very picky...My 11 DD is eating it with torilla chips more like dip.

Hi there! I'm so glad to hear that the Mex las is a hit for you! It's definitely a favorite in my household as well. As for my kids, they absolutely love it! My youngest is a picky eater too, but he can't resist the flavors in this dish. And since it's so easy to customize, my older ones can add extra spice or toppings to their liking. I hope your son enjoys it too! Let me know if you have any other questions or need any tips for making it kid-friendly. Happy cooking!
