{This post is sponsored by Old El Paso! I used their Red Enchilada Sauce to make these EASY Lasagna Roll Ups that I know you guys will LOVE – Bring on Sunday Night Dinner!}
I have a huge soft spot for lasagna.
Especially during these colder months… and especially during the holidays! Something about lasagna just makes people happy. Maybe it’s the slow cooked meat sauce, the carb filled pasta or all the cheese?!?
Okay, so it’s probably all three!!
With all the snow that fell on Friday and these frigid cold temps at night, I just couldn’t help it, I had to make Lasagna!
But as much as I love my classic lasagna recipe, sometimes I need something a little quicker. And now and then a delicious variation is always well received! Enter these Mexican Lasagna Roll Ups. They are easy, cheesy and a huge crowd pleaser! Or well, at least my family really enjoys them. I actually heard from certain sources that my pasta hating brother Trevor even took the leftovers home with him. Whoa!
And he never likes the food I make…unless it’s ground beef tacos…picky much? YUP.
Man, I think I need new taste testers besides my brothers.
Point is, he was really into these Spicy Mexican Lasagna Roll Ups – cool!
They actually got good reviews all around, even from the pickiest of the picky. And as I said last week, good reviews all around have been hard to come by lately. Hoping I can change that soon though, cause man last week was brutal! Starting this week off on a good note though! 🙂
OKAY, so here’s the deal.
Like I said, I made this recipe SIMPLE. Life is crazy for all of us right now. And with the holidays coming up… well I’m trying my hardest to bring you guys a slew of simpler recipes. Hey, I said I was trying, it’s harder than you’d think, I swear!
But today I killed it, with a little help from my friends over at Old El Paso! I used their red enchilada sauce to make this Mexican Lasagna that’s not only quick to prepare, but is also DELICIOUS! And…because there is so much flavor in that sauce, I didn’t need to slow cook a meat sauce all day long. Not that I am opposed to that, I simply just did not have time. Sometimes you need quick… I know you get that!
Plus, that is not just regular old ground beef stuffed inside these cute rolls. Nope, it’s spicy Mexican chorizo. YESS! <–this stuff is the best. The BEST!
Serious question before I leave you? Is that cheese pull killing you or what?!?!

My husband made this for me for mother’s day and used ground beef and gouda. It was delicious! We’ll definitely be making it again.
Hey Kelly,
Awesome!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! Have the best week:) xxT
My small town store doesn’t have Fontina cheese, any substitute suggestions?
Hey Janelle,
Gruyere, provolone, and gouda would all be great options to use here. I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Is the 1 ounce can of crushed red tomatoes a typo? Or do you truly only use one ounce? And same with the enchilada sauce. 2 ounces? I’m hoping to make this sometime this week. She looks delicious!
Hey Lauren,
So sorry for any confusion, you will want to use 1-28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes and 2-10 ounce cans of enchilada sauce. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Thanks for the clarification! We made them last night and they were delicious!!
Hey Lauren,
Happy Wednesday! Thanks a lot for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! Have the best day:) xTieghan
Do you think I could replace the enchilada sauce my boyfriend doesn’t like enchilada sauce….
Hey Hannah,
To be completely honest, I would try a different lasagna recipe. The enchilada sauce here really keeps the rolls ups from drying out and adds some much flavor. Here’s another recipe you might like:

It was alright…I wouldn’t make it again.
Hi Cheryl! I am really sorry to hear that! Is there anything I can help with? xTieghan
I can’t get enchilada sauce in my wee town, is there a reasonable substitute?
Hey Janyn,
You could use salsa! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This was yummy! Definitely has the comfort of traditional lasagna with a nice flavor twist. I used ground turkey instead and just upped the seasoning a bit. Also used ricotta instead of cream cheese because I love ricotta. Will definitely make it again!
…i have to make this…um…I HAVE TO MAKE THIS!
YES!! I hope you love this one, Jessica! xTieghan
Made this tonight and everyone LOVED it!! Followed recipe exactly. Only thing I switched up was I started the pasta prior to browning the sausage. Then while the sauce mixture was simmering I laid out the pasta and applied the cream cheese. Will definitely make this again!
I am really glad you enjoyed this, Brandi! Thank you so much! xTieghan
So so delicious! I made them with GF noodles and they gave me a little trouble with rolling up, so I just went with a typical lasagna layout and it turned out great. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Lacy! xTieghan

Hi Hollie! It’s two 10 ounce cans of the Old El Paso sauce. Hope that helps! Enjoy! X Kelly
I really like your writing very a lot
Thanks! xTieghan
look so yummy
Thank you!
hello tieghan, I’m always interested in your cooking
Thank you!
Hi! I made this before and my husband and I loved it! So good! Just a quick question. Can this be made a day ahead and put in the fridge/freezer? I wanted to make it tonight for tomorrow evening
So happy you love this! Yes, you can prepare this in advance and then bake the next day or even just rewarm. Let me know if you have questions. 🙂
Absolutely really Amazing Articel and good point in there.
Thanks shared.
