Mexican Lasagna, or, Tortilla Pie
Posted by Trish | Under Casseroles, Dinner, vegetarian Wednesday Jun 10, 2009
Submitted by Brad Waller
Serves 8
| 15 oz. corn (1 can) | 15 oz. tomatoes (1 can) | |
| 16 oz. fat free refried beans (1 can) | 15 oz. black beans (1 can) | |
| 15 oz. black olives (1 can) | 6 flour tortillas | |
| 8 oz. salsa | 1 lb. jalapeno jack cheese |
1. Slice the olives using an egg/mushroom slicer.
2. Divide the diced tomatoes in half.
3. Save ½ the can of tomatoes & combine the rest of the cans in a large bowl. Add the salsa & cheese (grated).
4. Grease (or spray with Pam) a large round casserole dish approximately the diameter of the tortillas & lay down the first tortilla. Spoon a layer of mix & repeat the layering until you are out of mix. Add the last tortilla & the reserved tomatoes & some more cheese, if you like.
5. Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F. Slice into 8 pieces & serve.
Chef’s Note: Ounce measurements are estimated. Basically just use one can of each of the ingredients. Calories are higher than I thought for this, as the olives add minimal volume & lots of calories from fat. Call it 375 calories if divided in 8, 500 if by 6. Use whole wheat tortillas, skip the olives, & use low fat cheese & this might be healthy.
