Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs ground chicken breast , available in the packaged meats case
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
1 cup medium heat taco sauce or 1 (14 oz) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn kernels
salt
8 (8 inch) spinach tortillas , available on dairy aisle of market
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
2 scallions, finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
TO COOK THE FILLING: 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 taco sauce or stewed or fire roasted tomatoes.
Add black beans and corn.
Heat the mixture through, 2 to 3 minutes then season with salt, to your taste.
ASSEMBLE LASAGNA: 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.
Top with the scallions.
*NOTE* - I omit the last step and offer the chopped scallions, chopped tomatoes, salsa and sour cream on the side as additional toppings.
