Mexican Lasagna
Ingredients

2 cooked chicken breast cut up into 1-inch cubes (can omit the chicken altogether if going meatless)
8 burrito size flour or corn tortillas
1 15 oz can of black beans
1 jar of salsa
1 can diced tomatos or use fresh tomatos
1 cup of onions
1 green pepper diced (can omit if don't have on hand)
1 red pepper diced (can omit if don't have on hand)
2 cups cheddar cheese


Directions
Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan with salsa
Place two tortillas over the salsa
Layer some beans, cheese, onions, pepper, salsa and chicken over the tortilla
Repeat and keep layering
Keep enough cheese aside to cover the top layer.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes

Serves 6-8

Want to make it lower fat, substitute low fat cheese. For the low fat cheese to melt better spray the top layer of cheese with PAM.

This recipe is great for leftovers! We usually have it twice for dinner and will bring it for lunch one day.

This recipe also freezes well. I have often made two of these and will freeze the second one.
