One thing that I really liked about this recipe is that it is extremely versatile. I created my own version of the recipe, and next time will do it differently. It is a basic recipe that can be tweaked just to your family's liking. Next time I am going for spicier! You could use shredded chicken in stead of beef, refried beans instead of black...you get the point!
Here is my version
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 (15 oz. can0 black beans, drained
1 cup medium taco sauce or stewed tomatoes
1 small can diced green chilies
1 cup frozen corn
salt
flour tortillas (1 package)
2 1/2 cups shredded taco cheese
sour cream, for topping
sour cream, for topping
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add ground beef and season with chili powder, cumin, and onion. Brown the meat, and drain the grease. Add the green chilies, tomatoes or taco sauce, beans, and corn. Heat the mixture through, about 2-3 minutes.
Coat an 8x8 pan with the remaining olive oil. Cut the tortillas into halves or quarters to make them easy to layer. Build lasagna in layers of meat and bean mixture, then tortillas, then cheese. Repeat meat, tortillas, and cheese again. Bake 12-15 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly. Serve with sour cream!
