Six Sisters' Stuff: Mexican Lasagna

Mexican Lasagna

I love Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals so I knew we had to try this one (with just a few little changes)!  It was so simple and delicious!  The hubby loved it, so it is definitely a keeper.






3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground chicken or turkey
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 red onion, chopped
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) flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or shredded pepper jack
2 scallions, finely chopped


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/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 and serve.

Delish!

  2. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love Mexican food, and might make this dish. unfortunately, I'd have to make the tortillas and the beans first. This would almost be an all-day meal!
