Gluten Free Mexican Lasagna

The first time I had this was right after we brought our first kiddo home from the hospital and lots of wonderful friends & family brought us meals. This was one we fell in love with right away and just had to have the recipe! Also, since it’s so easy to throw together & heats up really well this is also one of my go-to freezer meals. Top with some sour cream and/or guacamole and it won’t disappoint.
