It is a little higher in terms of carbs than my normal foods, but I wanted something Mexican and with a not so bad calorie count.
I used a med. sized lasagna pan, and it makes 6 amazingly filling portions....
Ingredients
- 6 white corn tortillas
- 12 oz Ground Beef 93/07
- 1 1/2 cups Traditional Refried Beans (Rosarita jalapeño; 1 can)
- 2 cups Mexican Squash
- 8 oz White Corn, Frozen
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack, Shredded
- 1 c. water
- Pam cooking spray
- 1-2 tbs of salsa (to taste; optional)
Directions:
Brown beef, in the meantime cube up 4-5 zucchini or calabazita squash, about 2 cups cubed. Once the meat is browned, add squash and corn. Season with your favorite seasoning (I used knorr chicken, cumin, and had some leftover ortega chiles so I dumped those in). Added added about 1 cup of water and then stewed for a while, until the water basically disappears.
Take your lasagna pan, spray with PAM, place 2 tortillas accross the bottom, take a 3rd tortilla cut in half and fill in the space on the bottom. Open the can of refried beans (I used rosarita jalapeno), dump on top of tortillas and spread over evenly. Take your browned and stewed beef and dump on top of beans, spread evenly. top with 3 tortillas (2 plus 2 halves). Spread salsa and cheese evenly over tortillas. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes just so the cheese melts and it all sets;.
I cut mine in 6 even squares, and refrigerated in pan. Have been eating a square for breakfast....so good.
