Mexican Lasagna Roll Ups

Mexican Lasagna Roll Ups

Ive been seeing all kinds of lasagna roll ups on Pinterest (Im am OBSESSED with Pinterest) so I decided to put another spin on it. 

We have tacos all the time but I wanted something a little different. I must say they were pretty tasty and pretty simple to make. There is no I repeat NO reason to buy those little taco seasoning packs ever again. You probably have the ingredients to make your own right in your cabinet. So get out those measuring spoons and get ta mixin!
