4. When it is ready, we drain the water and reserve for a moment.
5. Meanwhile, to make the filling for the Mexican lasagna,we slice the following ingredients: the chicken into fajitas, the potato into half-moons, the chopped Cuaresmeño chile, the sliced ​​​​onion and the pumpkin into half-moons.
6. We start by frying the onion. Although it may seem that chicken lasagna has many ingredients and we want to do without some, the truth is that they are all necessary to maintain its flavor and prepare the traditional Mexican-style lasagna.
7. Once the onion is ready, add the chicken in fajitasand season with salt and pepper. We will know that the onion is ready because it will have adopted a transparent color.
8. Immediately, we add the potatoand let it cook perfectly, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon

12. On the other hand, when the ingredients of the red sauce that we put to boil are ready, we add them to the blender.
13. Also, add the coriander sprig, parsley, a pinch of oregano and wheat flour, and mix it all to form a sauce without lumps.
14. Once we have the sauce, we are going to season it by adding it to a saucepan with a little previously heated oil, and seasoning to taste. When it is ready, we reserve it for a moment.
15. When we have the pasta, the filling and the sauce ready, we are going to begin to form the Mexican lasagna.
16. To do this, we place a little spray oil on the baking tray so that the pasta does not adhere to it, and we place two sheets of pasta.
17. On these sheets, we add the filling.
18. On top of the chicken filling, we add a layer of our red sauce. Look at the photograph; you can make the layers more or less thick, to your liking!
19. On top of the sauce layer, we will add a generous amount of grated string cheese.
