Mexican Lasagna. More is Better.

I had a serious craving for garlic, onions and everything spicy last night. Surprised myself with the final outcome. Everything went so well together.

Let that simmer while  melting butter and flour in a medium size pot, whisk until mixed well and add 2 cups of chicken stock; bring to a boil and when thickened turn down heat to simmer.
