Ingredients

Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 pounds Ground chicken breast, available in the packaged meats case

2 tablespoons Chili powder

2 teaspoons Ground cumin

1/2 Red onion, chopped

1 (14-oz) can Stewed tomatoes or fire-roasted chopped tomatoes

1 cup Medium heat taco sauce

1 (15-ounce) can Black beans, drained

1 cup Frozen corn kernels

Salt

8 (8 inch) spinach flour tortillas, available on dairy aisle of market

2 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar or shredded pepper jack

2 Scallions, finely chopped

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil – twice around the pan. Add chicken and season with chili powder, cumin, and red onion. Brown the meat, 5 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes or fire-roasted chopped tomatoes and taco sauce. Add black beans and corn. Heat the mixture through, 2 to 3 minutes then season with salt, to your taste.

Coat a shallow baking dish with remaining extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon oil. Cut the tortillas in half or quarters to make them easy to layer with. Build lasagna in layers of meat and beans, then tortillas, then cheese. Repeat: meat, tortilla, cheese again. Bake lasagna 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.
