What To Serve With Instant Pot Lasagna Fiesta Style

These recipes are truly tasty accompaniments to Instant Pot Lasagna Fiesta Style.

How about some Mexican Corn Bread? Corn bread is a fan-favorite, and this version ups the fiesta flavor with the addition of cheese and green chiles. It is a perfect pairing for this recipe.

This Mexican Coleslaw is one of my favorites. If you haven't tried it, you really should give it a whirl.

Looking for a little "starter" or appetizer to munch on while the Instant Pot Lasagna Fiesta Style cooks? Sweet Corn, Tomato &  Avocado Salsa served with corn chips will satisfy until dinnertime.

And, since everyone loves dessert, a nice light choice such as Easy Orange Fluff is a great way to cap off this delicious meal. If you'd prefer ice cream instead, I'm pretty partial to my friend's Butter Pecan ice cream. It's delish!

  • Instant Pot Pot-in-Pot - This pan is essential when cooking recipes that might stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Tall Trivet Set- Use this handy too when cooking a recipe in the inner pot and second recipe (or part of a recipe, like rice) utilizing the pot-in-pot method
  • Sling- You'll want to have a sling when you use the pot-in-pot method, like when you make cheesecake.
  • Instant Pot Inner Pot - I like to have an extra inner pot available because of how much cooking I do in my Instant Pot. It comes in really handy when I want to put a lid on the inner pot and refrigerate the leftovers, or mix up ingredients the night before to save time at the end of the day.

Notes

FAQs

  • Can my dog eat Lasagna Fiesta Style? Your dog shouldn't eat Lasagna Fiesta Style because of three ingredients: the taco seasoning, the taco sauce, and the cheddar cheese. The first two because they contain condiments that can harm your dog's health. And cheese because when dogs grow up they lose the ability to synthesize dairy products and it could be a bad thing for them. Finally, you should check if your dog can eat flour tortillas because there is a possibility that he is allergic to gluten and it would not be a good idea to give them either.
  • Can my cat eat Lasagna Fiesta Style? If you want to share this recipe with your cat, you must modify it by eliminating some ingredients: taco seasoning, taco salsa, and cheddar cheese. Taco seasoning and taco salsa contain very strong products that can hurt your furry friend's stomach. And like dogs, cats lose the ability to synthesize dairy products, so cheddar cheese could cause adverse reactions. Finally, you should check that your cat is not allergic to gluten. Otherwise, wheat tortillas would not be a good idea to give to your cat.
