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.

Needs more sauce
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

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.

Mexican Lasagna
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

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.Read more

very tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is very good, but on the episode this comes from they did't use marinara. They used regular, red, salsa and tomatillo... salsa, and this is what I used. I'm not sure how it would taste with marinara...is that a typo????Read more

THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE FOR MEXICAN LASAGNA I'VE COME ACROSS, AND, ASIDE FROM THE CHEESE, IT'S RELATIVELY LOW CAL. HIGHLY... RECOMMEND, PAIR WITH MEXICAN LIGHT BEER.Read more

good, but not great!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

this recipe is good, but not great. i will make it again, though (next time i will season the chicken (something spicy) and... the marinara (trader joe's marinara is so bland). the recipe has great latitude. i think any modification/addition to this recipe would work well!Read more
