Mexican Lasagna
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds ground chicken breast (I used lean ground turkey instead)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 red onion, chopped (I didn't use any onions because of my husband's issues with onions)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 cup medium heat taco sauce or 1 (14-oz) can stewed or fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- Salt
- 8 (8 inch) spinach flour tortillas (I used flour tortillas instead)
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or shredded pepper jack (I used both)
- 2 scallions, finely chopped (I used 2 green onions instead)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil - twice around the pan. Add chicken (or turkey) and season with chili powder, cumin, and red onion. Brown the meat, 5 minutes. Add taco sauce or stewed or fire roasted tomatoes. Add black beans and corn. Heat the mixture through, 2 to 3 minutes then season with salt, to your taste.
Coat a shallow baking dish with remaining extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon oil. Cut the tortillas in half or quarters to make them easy to layer with. Build lasagna in layers of meat and beans, then tortillas, then cheese. Repeat: meat, tortilla, cheese again. Bake lasagna 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly. Top with the scallions or green onions and serve.
