The most efficient way to layer Mexican Lasagna

I know it seems like a no-brainer, but after so much trial and error on my behalf, I think it’s worth mentioning. When you’re making this Mexican Lasagna, it is imperative that you layer in this order:

Start with a layer of flour tortillas.
Mix the refried beans and cream cheese FIRST, then layer.
Add a generous amount of shredded cheese to each layer.
Don’t be afraid to add too much red enchilada sauce. Don’t forget to mix with with taco seasoning first. If you forget this step, the red enchilada sauce will be too bitter. Trust me with this!
Finish each layer with green chilis. IMO, the more the better.
