Remember me? The flour tortilla lover? It's all gluten free now so when I used corn tortillas for this soup and I had a bunch left over. So I had to look for the perfect recipe for corn tortillas.
I think I found it.
This was a fantastic lasagna that we all love. I'm starting to get used to these corn tortillas. Shhh!! Don't tell the flour tortillas!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corn Tortilla Mexican Lasagna Recipe
Adapted from Flour Dusted
1 1/2 lb. chicken, boneless breasts
1 large onion, diced
2 peppers, diced (I used one red and one green)
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic, minced
1 can red beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 tbsp. fajita seasoning
1/2 tsp. chipotle seasoning
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
12 corn tortillas
Colby jack cheese, shredded (5 oz)
Combine the chicken, peppers, onions, garlic, brother and all the seasonings in a pan. Simmer for 40 minutes or so stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken pieces and shred them with two forks. Return the chicken to the saucepan and simmer for another 15 minutes. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid over the beans and mash them. Stir the mashed beans into the shredded chicken mixture. Stir in the diced tomatoes.
Spread a small portion of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Layer 6 tortillas on top. Spread 1/2 the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas, layer another 6 tortillas. Spread out the remaining chicken mixture. (I might have done 3 layers with 4 tortillas per layer, I can't remember). Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 375 for about 30 - 35 minutes.

ReplyDeleteMy wish is that I had all of the ingredients on hand for this recipe! I'm cutting back on groceries in the next few weeks and clearing out the pantry and freezer...we picked up some essentials today and won't be shopping again until next week!
Yum! I can't share my wish because then it may not come true!
ReplyDeleteYour lasagna looks so darn good. I have recently become a corn tortilla lover after using flour tortillas for years. Great minds think alike! :o)

I adore Mexican Lasagna and I haven't made it in ages. I usually make it with flour tortillas, but I think I'll try it with corn next time. YUM!

What a great dish, this looks amazing! Love your blog and so glad to be your newest follower! xoxo
ReplyDeleteUntil I made the acquaintance with the Quick Weight Loss people, I had never eaten a corn tortilla. Now I have a small one every morning wrapped around an egg. I love the flavor...much more than flour tortillas. This dish looks absolutely delicious, Debbi!
ReplyDeleteLucky you with the Fairy Hobmother. I love the idea. An Amazon gift card solves the problem with U.S. bloggers! Good luck to everyone!
I am a flour tortilla lover, too, but sometimes those corn tortillas just taste better in a meal. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! Congrats on the visit from the Fairy Hobmother. What a great surprise!!
ReplyDeleteI wish for an under couter freezer!

From the site you shared, I'd like to have the Bosch KTR15V22GB Free Standing Fridge for my son who's on a gluten and casein free diet. Ideally he should have all his food in a separate fridge!
ReplyDeleteFrom your site... I'd love to have a dish of this amazing Mexican meal you've come up with! I think I could easily alter it so my son could eat it too. Just need to use a cheese substitute and we soooo love Mexican!
