Mexican Lasagna....and for only $19.95 you'll get a third one free!!!

I feel like the home shopping network but did you know you can do even more with that Burrito recipe?? If you've mastered the Black Bean Burritos, this is no challenge at all; it’s only 1 new ingredient and an extra 30 minutes for cooking!

Mexican Lasagna:

  • 1 Green Peppers
  • 1 Small onion (Vidalia)
  • 1 Can Black Beans (rinsed & drained)
  • 1 Can Tomatoes or 1 or 2 big tomatoes chopped
  • 1 Can of refried beans (low fat or low sodium)
  • 1lb ground turkey or beef
  • 1 Package of Taco Seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 package tortillas
  • Mexican Cheese (3 cups)

Preheat oven 350 degrees, spray a 9x13 with cooking spray.

In a large pan, brown Meat, drain and set aside (just use the 9x13 so you don’t dirty another dish).

Add chopped Peppers and Onion, in large pan with a 1/2 tbsp of olive oil over med heat for about 4 minutes or until veggies begin to brown. Add tomatoes and black beans, keep on heat for 2 minutes. Add meat back in to pan, add taco seasoning and water and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Place a layer of tortillas in bottom of pan (2 small tortillas & rip a 3rd to make it work), a layer of refried beans, a layer of bean mixture, a layer of cheese. Repeat 2x.

Put in oven til bubbly and cheese is melted about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
