My neighbor surprised me with some delicious, organic homegrown tomatoes and green peppers. They, however, were super-ripe and needed to be either turned into a sauce or cooked in a casserole. I also had some Soyrizo on hand and decided to make some Mexican Lasagna. The Enchilada Sauce was adapted from Cookie and Cate!

ENJOY!
