I only cook for my wife and myself, so we live on left overs. This meal makes for delicious left overs, either warm or cold. Of course, it is best right out of the oven. My first posting, hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken (dark or light, both or work well, depends on the taste you like) shopping list
- 1 onion shopping list
- 3 yellow squash shopping list
- 8 oz frozen corn shopping list
- 1 can of black beans (my grand mother was Cuban, so I use black beans more often than not. Pinto would work, as would red kidney beans) shopping list
- 1 package of corn tortillas shopping list
- 1 12 oz jar of red chili (depending on where you are, others call it enchilada sauce, my wife, from Colorado, for example) shopping list
- 1 lb of shredded cheddar cheese shopping list
- 1 tbsp red chili powder shopping list
- 1 tsp garlic powder shopping list
- salt shopping list
- pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Set oven to 350 degrees
- Slice and cube the chicken and put it in a frying pan coated with olive oil.
- While the chicken is cooking, dice the onions and the yellow squash. Throw them in with the chicken after it is cooked up (7-10 minutes).
- While the squash and onions are softening up, pull out an 11X17 baking dish. Pour about a quarter of the sauce on the bottom and spread it out. Put down a layer of six corn tortillas, and then about a quarter of the sauce on top of them.
- Season the chicken and vegetables and stir the seasonings in. Once fully mixed, dump the mixture on bed of corn tortillas.
- Open the beans, drain and rinse them and spread them out on the chicken mixture. Do the same with the 8 oz of corn. Put another quarter of the jar over the mixture.
- Now the fun part, dump about 3/4 of the cheese on the mixture of chicken, veggies, beans, and corn.
- Lay another six corn tortillas on top and spread the remaining chili on top of the tortillas.
- Cover with tin foil and put in a pre-heated oven for 35 minutes.
- When 35 minutes are up, pull the "lasagna" out, un-cover it, spread the remaining cheese on top and put it back in until fully melted (5-10 minutes).
- Slice and serve.
