I got this recipe from a client. It was nice and creamy, but also had a mild spice to it. It’s a unique take on a lasagna/Mexican dish. I will put a little disclaimer out there that this not the healthiest dish out there, but nonetheless still tasty and why not treat yourself every now and then…isn’t that what extra cardio is for anyways 😉
