Skinnymixer’s Mexican Lasagna Stack features in the Higher Protein section of the cookbook Dinners 4.

Inside The Healthy Mix Dinners 4 you’ll find Dinners is FULL with 36 Dinners. Whether you are feeding your family on a tight budget, needing to get dinner on the table fast, watching your calorie intake or perhaps cutting back on takeaway.

The Mexican Lasagna Stack is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

This is a fantastic dinner to prepare ahead of schedule and cut a slice to serve with some toppings or salad. It is especially great to have for easy lunches the next day. My daughter absolutely loved this one & my son requested I make it again without corn and beans… Feel free to adjust to your own personal preference.

This is what happens when tacos and lasagna collide… and it’s ridiculous.

Layers of rich, spiced mince, melty cheese in layers of high-protein chile con queso and soft tortillas stacked into one seriously addictive dinner. It looks impressive, but it’s actually so easy to throw together.

The kind of meal that disappears fast and gets requested again before you’ve even finished eating.

Tips & Dietary Needs

Protein swap – Feel free to use your mince of choice, including plant-mince
No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
Don’t like beans or corn? No problem, just leave them out.
Dairy-free – Replace cottage cheese with silken tofu. Use dairy-free cheeses.
Gluten-free – Use corn tortillas, if they are smaller you can cut additional ones to cover a layer. Gluten-free tortillas can go soggy.
Egg-free – Replace with 2 Tbsp Greek yoghurt of choice.
Low carb – Replace tortillas with low carb tortillas or roasted zucchini ribbons. Omit beans and corn.
Lower calorie – Halve hard cheeses. Add cheese sauce to bottom and top layers only.
Paleo – Omit corn and beans. Make the meat sauce only and fill zucchini boats or capsicums (halved lengthways). Top with an egg in each and bake.
Go vegetarian – Use vegetable stock concentrate. Double the capsicum. Replace mince with 1 zucchini and 200 g or 7.1 oz Swiss brown mushrooms, diced. Double the beans.
Low Fodmap – Omit garlic powder and onion powder. Use garlic infused olive oil and add chopped spring onion (green part only) sprinkled in the layers. Use lactose-free cheese and compliant stock concentrate.
Spice Level – This isn’t spicy, but you could add some chipotle powder to it if you like!

From the Testing Team

Shauna D – Hubby announced this as the best recipe that I have tested.
Jess A – Wowwww!!! Just wow! I LOVED this. So damn good. I did use 6 tortillas. I had plenty of filling. Absolutely delicious. Only one kid complained about the beans and corn.
Jess C – Loved this! Really loved the cheese mixture. Used a 20cm cake tin and it was very full but still worked well. Will become a regular in our house. Reheated the next day well too.
Susan R. – GF variation. Delicious and sliced perfectly. Good level of spice and easy to make.
Tara L – That was so bloody good I stood up and clapped. My husband who is “Mr Perfect” with his meal portions (we are polar opposites) got up and made himself another full serve. This was absolutely incredible!!!! Made exactly to the recipe and made a day ahead then reheated cut serves in the microwave then just added salad. I had to stop my husband stealing anymore so that I could test some from the freezer. I love soooo many recipes in this book but i think this just took top place. Absolute winner. Thank you.
