I had so much of leftover mince, pork & chicken, store bought Mexican salsa, roasted bell peppers, egg white tortillas different cheeses these all needed to be used. Created this delicious clean out the fridge recipe which is has the right spice level that anyone will enjoy. The only carb that is in the jarred salsa. If you have a homemade low carb salsa then use it.

Serves 6
Ingredients

300 Grams Chicken Mince
300 Grams Pork Mince
9 Egg White Tortillas
1 Small Onion - chopped
1 Teaspoon Chilly Flakes
¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Cumin Powder
½ Teaspoon Mexican Oregano
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt or to taste
For The Sauce
2 Roasted Red Bell Peppers
1 Roasted Green Bell Pepper
4 Cloves Roasted Garlic
½ Teaspoon Mexican Oregano
½ Cup Heaped Mexican Salsa
1 Cup Mixed Cheese - Brie, Sheep Cheese, Blue Cheese
4 Slices Cheddar Cheese
1 Teaspoon Butter - for greased the baking dish . 

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C
In a pan add the pork and chicken mince sauté till brown then add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes, then add the all seasonings and salt to taste, mix well. Cover and cook till the mince is tender. Drain out the excess fat from the pan. Keep aside to cool.
For The Sauce
Grind the roasted garlic, bell peppers, Mexican oregano and salsa in mixer jar till well blended.
In a another pan add the drained fat from the mince and the blended sauce, cook on medium flame till it comes to boil. Let is cool. Taste for salt if necessary add, I did not add any salt since the Mexican salsa had enough salt in it.
For Assembling The Lasagna
Grease an 8" x 8" a baking dish with butter well.
Add 2 -3 tablespoons of the sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. 
Keep aside ½ cup heaped of the sauce and mix the remaining to the cooked mince.
Then add a layer of egg white tortillas.
Add a layer of the mince & sauce mix.
Now sprinkle the cheese.
Again repeat the same process.
When all the mince is used up.
Add the layer of egg white tortillas, then the remaining sauce, a good amount of cheese, then a layer of slice cheddar cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes remove the foil and put it under the broiler for a few minutes or till the cheese is golden brown on top.
Let is cool a bit before serving. Serve with side of salad or you could also use your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, avocado, etc.
This is the perfect recipe to freeze for a low carb lunch. Just portion out the leftovers and place in a freezer container. Microwave for a few minutes to reheat.
This low carb meal was so easy and comforting and sure to be a family favorite. It would be perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
