Here’s a twist to the traditional lasagna recipe. Adjust the spices if desired and adding fresh tomatoes is a good idea too. Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced

2 pounds ground beef

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 cup tomato sauce sauce

1 15-ounce can black beans, drained

1 cup canned corn

Salt and pepper to taste

8 (8 inch) soft corn or flour tortillas

2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

sliced black olives for topping

1/2 cup sour cream

 

Preheat oven to 400F.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the garlic for 3-5 minutes until they are light brown. Add the ground beef and cook it for 10-15 minutes or until it is brown. Mix in the tomato sauce, beans and the corn. Cook for another 8-10 minutes. Season it with salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Mix well.

Grease a round baking dish with the remaining oil. Assemble the lasagna by placing some meat mixture at the bottom of the dish. After, layer it with a tortilla. Cut the tortillas if needed. Repeat the process until the tortilla is finished. Make sure that the top layer is meat. Sprinkle it with Cheddar cheese.

Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is light brown. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Top with sour cream and garnish with black olives. Serve warm.
