Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the sauce:
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 cups water
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For assembly:
12 corn tortillas
4 cups of cooked mashed pinto beans
1 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
1-2 tablespoons chopped green chilies (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Tofu sour cream (optional; recipe available at www.drmcdougall.com)

Steps:

  • For the sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk until well combined. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more chili powder, if desired. Set aside.
  • Place the beans in a large bowl. Add the onions, corn, olives, and green chilies (if using). Mix gently until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups of the sauce in the bottom of a nonstick 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 4 corn tortillas over the bottom of the baking dish; they can overlap or be cut to fit. Spread half of the bean mixture over the tortillas. Place another 4 tortillas over the bean mixture and then spread the remaining bean mixture on top of those tortillas. Cover with 4 more tortillas and then pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Cover with parchment paper and then with aluminum foil, crimping the edges over the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with salsa and tofu sour cream, if desired.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. The flavors were good, but the cheese was a bit overpowering. I would probably make this again, but I would use less cheese next time.

This lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make this again.

I have to say, this lasagna was a bit of a disappointment. The flavors were just so-so and the lasagna was a bit too dry. I wouldn't make this again.

This lasagna was a disaster! The flavors were terrible and the lasagna was a mushy mess. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out great! I made a few substitutions, using ground turkey instead of beef and low-fat cheese, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of lasagna, but this Tex-Mex version was amazing! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the lasagna was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
