Mexican Lasagna

There are a few dishes that I have tried over and over again in order to find the perfect combination to the perfect dish- and Mexican Lasagna is one of them... but I believe I have finally found THE recipe- a healthy combination that we all enjoyed over at my house! Hope you like it too!

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1 sweet onion, chopped

2 clove garlic, minced

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can black beans

2 cans tomato paste

1 cup water

1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels

1-2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or jack or combo)

1.5 tsp cumin

2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

12 corn tortillas, cut into quarters

cilantro for garnish

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350. Chop your onion and mince your garlic and brown them both with a drizzle of Grape Seed oil in a large skillet. (If using beef, drain your fat). Then add your tomatoes, water, seasoning, beans and corn and mix well cooking for 3-5 minutes until everything is well blended. Get out a 9 x 13 glass dish, spray the bottom, them add some of your meat/tomato mixture in a thin layer, then add a layer of cheese, then a 4 of your quartered corn tortillas (the tortillas will over lap one another). Repeat so you have 3 layers on ingredients. Then cook for 15- 20 minutes. I turned my broiler on for the last few minutes to get the top of it bubbly and gooey. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, cut into squares and serve!
