Mexican Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Shredded Chicken
• 1/2 cup finely diced onion
• 1 can refried or black beans (or make your own!)
• 6-8 soft tortilla shells (for cost efficiency make your own!)
• 3 cups cheese (your choice…I like Mexican Shredded cheese or a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese)
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 package taco seasoning (or 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp garlic powder)
• 2 can sliced olives
• 1 can whole kernel corn (optional)
• Salsa (optional)
• Sour Cream (optional)

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoons olive oil. Add chicken and season with 1 packet of taco season (or chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder) and onion. Heat 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes.
3. Coat a shallow baking dish with olive oil. Cut the tortillas in half or quarters to make them easy to layer. To build lasagna in layers: first add 1/2 of meat, then 1/2 beans and 1/2 of the corn, then tortillas, then cheese. Repeat: meat, beans, corn, tortilla, and cheese. Bake lasagna 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly. Top with olives and serve with salsa and/or sour cream.
