Gluten Free Vegan Mexican Lasagna

Sub title:
It's delicious I swear.
I can't believe this is happening, but I made a quite tasty gluten-free-vegan-Mexican lasagna this week. Wow that's a mouthful. No really it's a mouthful...of deliciousness!! Groan...

I took Rachel Ray's recipe from the Food Network and just did an easy swap out. Remember just do it? Easy swap out. Easy to make and great for parents who need a lot of healthy food in little time. Make double the portion and have leftovers-Jason and I did and it was just as good reheated.
