Mexican lasagna

I decided to have one vegetarian-ish meal a week. I thought it might be healthy, and fun to try it. My husband, was not keen on the idea, but...because he loves me so much said that I could try it. (what other choice did he have) Well, I made it....and he LOVED it. He thought it was so good. Which I was very surprised because he was a little skeptical at first. We especially loved to sprinkle tortilla chips on it! I found this recipe at Cuisine Nie.
