I made mexican lasagna and a black bean and corn salad, which I subed in some chickpeas, since I didn't have enough black beans, and it turned out pretty good.
Mexican Lasagna
- 2 cups of corn
- 1 can of black beans, rined and drained
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic, undrained
- 4 oz. of chopped green chillies
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 4 - 6 in. tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Crushed up tortilla chips or tortilla strips
Mix the corn, black beans, tomatoes, chillies, green onions, oregano and cumin together in a large bowl. I like to let this sit for 30 min + to marinate, but you do not have to do that.
Spray a 9in x 13in baking dish with Pan, place two tortillas in he dish, cover with half of the veggie mixture; sprinkle with half of the cheese and repeat the layer.
Bake, uncovered, at 400º for 15-20 minutes. Then let it stand for 5 minutes.
Once platted, I then sprinkle tortilla strips on top... to add a little crunch.... You can use tortilla chips if you can't find the strips. I also like a dollop of sour cream and hot sauce on mine.
Now one to the salad.... Which I used 1 can of black beans and 1 can of chickpeas, since I ran out of black beans :( But it was really good!
