I have a recipe JUST like this for "Mexican Lasagna"! A mix of Italian and Mexican - it's sooooo good!

1 (15 oz) can pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (14 oz) can diced and crushed tomatoes (I like to get the ones with the Chile peppers/jalapeno peppers in it for spice)

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles

2 cups of frozen corn - thawed

2 green onions - minced (I use yellow onions when I can't find green onions)

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp oregano - dried

8 low fat flour tortillas (corn tortillas work just as well)

1 1/2 cups grated, low fat or light Monterey Jack Cheese (I also use low fat/light Mexican blend Cheese)

Reduced fat sour cream or low fat plain yogurt for garnish - optional

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients and mix.

2. Spray 2 qt pan with non-stick cooking spray (I use a glass pyrex dish usually). Line dish with 3-4 tortillas (overlap if necessary)

3. Spread half bean mixture in a layer over tortilla and sprinkle with 1/2 cheese. REPEAT.

4. Bake 12-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly

5. Let stand 1-2 minutes

6. Cut in squares and serve.

7. Top with a dollop of low-fat sour cream or yogurt

Serves 8!

My boyfriend also likes to add grilled chicken breast which we make on our George Foreman Grill for some meat.. or some pan-fried and browned red meat.

It's delicious- believe me!
