Stove top tortilla lasagna recipe
Stove top tortilla lasagna

Today’s recipe is a tortilla lasagna made on stovetop without oven or equipment.

I had planned to prepare lasagna last week and bought some mozzarella cheese as well. But a lot of workload and kids’ exams insisted me to postpone this recipe.

And I forgot that I ran out of lasagna sheets. So I searched my pantry desperately to find some alternative for lasagna.

I had already pre-prepped pasta sauce and other ingredients for the lasagna. So I didn’t want to keep them in the refrigerator for future use. I searched my pantry and found some random items like Fusilli pasta, Tortilla wraps and some Couscous too.

I made my mind and decided to continue the lasagna recipe with Tortilla wraps. Here I am using multigrain Tortilla wraps and homemade pasta sauce.

The things needed to make stovetop tortilla lasagna

Multigrain tortilla wraps

The multigrain tortilla wraps gives more nutrients than the regular flour tortillas. The single pack of this multigrain tortilla wraps contains 8 tortillas.

vegetables

Mushrooms,onion and bell pepper are the vegetables I am using in this recipe.You can add your choice of vegetables like corn, asparagus, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli to boost the nutrient intake.

Chicken

I like to use Kampong chicken whenever possible. I chopped the chicken into tiny chunks to easily incorporate the chicken into pasta sauce while arranging them for layers.

Homemade pasta sauce

I used homemade pasta sauce I usually prepare for my routine meal prep.

Cheese

Mozzarella cheese singles works fine here.If you want to used the shredded mozzarella cheese that works fine too.

Seasoning

Other than salt and pepper as the regular seasoning I like to add taco or peri-peri to give a flavourful spicy taste.

Olives

What?An Italian pasta without Olive? There may be…I love to add olives wherever I can. If you get stuffed olives…give it a try.
