Why not make one of my favorite foods with a Mexican twist? It came out really delicious and it's pretty easy too! Perfect for Cinco De Mayo!
Mexican Lasagna
What you'll need:
3 tortillas (or more depending on how high you layer)
1/2 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cob of corn (cooked and kernels cut off) or 1/2 can of corn (drained)
1/2 onion, sliced
about 4 oz. mushrooms, sliced
a couple handfuls of fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 8 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 small can of diced green chilies
1 small can of sliced olives, drained
about 6 oz. of cheddar cheese or a mexican blend cheese, shredded
a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
What you'll do:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Saute the mushrooms and onions with a pad of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook just until soft (they will cook more when baking.)
Spoon some tomatoes and juice into the bottom of a pie dish. Lay a tortilla down and then start layering. Sprinkle some of all the ingredients on top of the tortilla and then stack another one.
When you've reached the top of your pie pan, place one more tortilla on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until all the cheese is bubbling.
Slice and serve warm : )
Yummeee! And you could easily add any veggies you had in the fridge like squash, zucchini, bell peppers or even sliced potatoes. And this is fantastic with some of my homemade guacamole!
Leslie, thank you! I love your recipes!! This looks so delicious and easy to make.
this looks so delicious and healthy! it makes me want to have this for dinner to celebrate cinco de mayo.
I love the Mexican twist!
Such pretty pictures and a great recipe!
Wow! This is so super cute! I love your blog layout as well!
I like it .. it looks so delicious and easy
I make this all the time, but it doesnt look as good as yours wow!
That looks so good! Great job.
So delicious — leftovers the next day were just as delicious. Can’t wait until you make this again.
this is one of my favorite suppers–colorful, flavorful, easy, and quick. your little serving there would be enough to get me started, but i’d need about two or three more.
I’ve made a dish like this before and it really is fantastic! I love how you could throw just about anything in it.
Delicious and easy to make. Thanks for the idea.
I just tried this for dinner tonight and it was so tasty. It was super easy to make as well. This would be a great recipe for the days I work late or I just don’t feel like cooking. I can’t wait to have this for lunch tomorrow!!!
What kind of tortillas did you use? Flour or corn??
I used flour tortillas here because it fit in my pie pan perfectly. But if you were going to do these individuals on a cookie sheet, corn would be fabulous!
Thanks alot I may try both
