2. I like enchiladas.
And lasagna. So, I
put them
together into a
layered, cheesy
and spicy love
child that I like to
call Enchilada
Lasagna.
This gourmet food recipe is a great one that has lots of veggies,
cheese and Mexican goodness all inside. Not completely healthy,
but not awful like traditional lasagna or enchiladas. I used the last of
some random ingredients in my fridge–zucchini, green peppers,
olives, green onions and spinach but you can adapt it so you use up
what you have.
Start by chopping some veggies–not too hard, right?
3. Then get some olive oil in a pan
and heat it up over medium
heat.
4. Saute the zucchini, onions and
green peppers until they start
getting soft, about 5 minutes.
5. While the veggies are doin’ their thing, grate
some cheese and cube up some rotisserie
chicken.
6. Back to the filling–stir in some cumin,
salt, pepper, spinach and olives.
8. To this mixture, add in the chicken, black beans,
salsa and cilantro.
9. I used this little baby can of salsa. It’s tasty.
10. Stir your filling together and
that’s it! A big pan of
deliciousness. You could eat this
as is, but I was wanting cheesy
layers.
11. Before assembly, you need to do two more
things: take some corn tortillas and slice into
pieces {so they will fit into my pan a little
nicer}
12. …and crack open a can of
some good green enchilada
sauce. I really really love this
brand.
13. Now we can assemble! Here’s how we do it: spread a
little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a lightly greased
baking dish, top with tortillas, then a little cheese and
then half the filling.
14. After that, top with more cheese, more tortillas and more
enchilada sauce. Top it off with cheese, the other half of
the filling, even more cheese, tortilla strips, more enchilada
sauce and yes…more cheese!
16. After 30 minutes or so it’s done! Serve it up with
sour cream, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro, lime
wedges, etc.
Add some salad and sweet mexican rice and
voila! A great weeknight meal!
