Photo: Mexican Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 4 ounces marinara sauce
- 8 ounces canned corn
- 14 ounces black beans, cooked
- 14 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, plus more for topping
- Salt and pepper
- 16 ounces chicken, cubed
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the tortillas by soaking them in hot water until they are slightly soft. Coat the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch pan with about 1/2 of the marinara sauce. Spread 4 tortillas down on top of the sauce in the pan. Top the tortillas with about 1/3 of the corn, beans and cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then add 1/3 of the chicken. Place 4 more tortillas on top and repeat with the toppings. After you have 3 layers spread the remaining marinara sauce and top with more cheese. Place in oven for 45 minutes.

I made this years ago and I didn't think that 4oz of marinara sauce would do it. Remember there are 16 oz to a cup, so the amount that they're suggesting is a quarter cup of sauce.
I used a store bought tomatillo sauce and used about a cup 16 oz and it was delicious! I will make this again this weekend, but I'm going to use ground beef as opposed to chicken.

My daughter & I prepared this recipe tonight. It was not as good as Monica's which was absolutely one of the best mexican dishes I have ever put in my mouth. We were so excited to see Food Network had the recipe. Since we had had the original we did not use Marania sauce but Salsa Verda & Red Tomatilla Salsa and more than it called for or it would have been to dry.It was good just not as good as Monica's. Thanks for the recipe.
