Mexican lasagna is a favorite within my house for a long time. It combines familiar flavors in a different way.
I love it since it feels decadent, but it is simple to swap in healthier ingredients, like low-fat cheese or whole-wheat tortillas.
I discovered an authentic version online, but altered several ingredients along with the approach to preparing the chicken. Of note: I bending the black beans to really make it a little healthier. Use 1 can if you are not really a huge fan.
I additionally love this recipe since it is flexible. I personally use the slow oven since it makes this multi-step process appear like a lesser chore.
You can easily swap in canned or shredded rotisserie chicken out of your supermarket and prepare your wet ingredients together around the stovetop before assembling. Or, spice some misconception by garnishing together with your favorite taco toppings, like fresh lettuce and tomato plants, sour cream or eco-friendly onions.
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic clove, minced
2 large chicken breasts
2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup premade salsa (homemade and store-bought work nicely, or consider using a can of Rotel)
6-7 large flour tortillas reduce 1-inch strips (kitchen shears are ideal for cutting them)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese (other cheeses work fine)
In slow oven, combine all ingredients except tortillas and cheese, and prepare on low for eight hrs or until chicken is cooked and shreds easily.
To put together, carefully shred chicken and blend slow-cooked ingredients together.
Heat oven to 450 levels.
Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and layer bottom about another of tortillas. Cover with 1 / 2 of chicken mixture, then 1 / 2 of cheese.
Add another layer of tortillas, then another layer of filling. Finally, give a layer of tortillas to the peak, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake about ten minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
