21 DAY FIX FRIENDLY MEXICAN LASAGNA

Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground chicken breast, available in the packaged meats case (I use Laura's lean ground beef, sorry ground chicken breast is right up there with the ground turkey and you guys know how I feel about that...yuk!)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder (Bloemers-Hello is there any other kind of 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 (I use 1 10 oz can of Rotel original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies)
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • Salt & black pepper (dash+++ of Cayenne pepper, how much depends on your taste and who's looking when you put it in)
  • 8 (8 inch) spinach flour tortillas, available on dairy aisle of market (I use Mission Yellow corn Tortillas they are low fat, extra thin, and gluten free)
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar or shredded pepper jack (I use Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican or Kraft has a 2% version and Kraft has shredded Habanero cheese!)

DIRECTIONS:

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 beef)  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.


Makes 4 servings 1/4 of the pan is a serving and each serving is 1-red 2-yellow 1-blue 1/2-green
