Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 cups salsa
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped finely (more or less to taste)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
4 1/2 ounces black olives, sliced
10 corn tortillas
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained
3 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (can use ranchero or other bean if desired)
1 (15 ounce) can enchilada sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1/2 jalapeno pepper (finely chopped) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a non-stick pan with a little water (1 tbsp.), sauté the pepper, garlic, and onion for about 5-10 minutes, or until softened (not too long, the onions are SO good crunchy).
  • Place mix in a medium bowl and add diced tomatoes, cilantro (alternately, the cilantro can be sprinkled in as two layers, if easier) and chives. Mix well and set aside.
  • Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with a layer of tortillas (cut some of them to fit, if desired). Cover most of the bottom of the pan. For reference: I use four tortillas on the bottom, three for the next layer and three for the final layer.
  • Place 1 ½ cans of the refried beans in a small bowl, stir, and spread evenly over the tortillas.
  • Cover the refried beans with half of the pepper-onion-tomato mixture.
  • Sprinkle entire dish lightly with 1/2 tsp cumin.
  • Cover with half the can of corn.
  • Cover with half the can of beans.
  • Cover with 1/2 THE SALSA, add another layer of tortillas and REPEAT above layers (steps 5-9).
  • Cover with a final layer of tortillas.
  • Sprinkle with black olives.
  • Top with the remaining 1 cup salsa.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until hot throughout. If allowed to cool for about 10 minutes, it will be easier to cut.

I love that this recipe is so adaptable. I used corn tortillas instead of lasagna noodles, and I added some chopped poblano peppers to the filling. It turned out amazing! I can't wait to experiment with other variations.

This recipe is a flavor explosion! The combination of Mexican spices, roasted corn, and black beans is incredible. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and guacamole, and it was heavenly.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and delicious Mexican-inspired dish. I used whole wheat lasagna noodles and vegan cheese, and it was still incredibly flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
