Mexican Lasagna

Mexican Lasagna

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law's favorite recipe web site: mynextrecipe.com I love that it doesn't have meat since we try to limit our red meat consumption.

Serves 8
1 medium onion, diced
1 green or red bell pepper
1-2 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1 can (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
1 can (4 ounces each) chopped olives
1 can enchilada sauce
½-1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 Corn tortillas or flour tortillas
Cheese

Directions
1. Wash hands.
2. Sauté onion and green bell pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minute. Add remaining ingredients to the onion mixture.
3. Spray an 8x11 pan with non-stick spray. Put tortillas on the bottom of a pan put ½ mixture then cheese. Repeat layers (tortillas, mixture and cheese). Top with cheese. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes
Options:
Add refried beans, black beans, and/or cooked super lean ground beef
Reduce amount of cheese by only topping the lasagna with cheese instead of layering cheese throughout.
Use whole wheat tortillas
