Corn Tortilla Chicken Lasagna

Posted by Dexie

A Mexican dish with Italian inspiration that turned out really well. I actually saw this recipe from a magazine but the recipe called for pasta sauce. I wanted to stay within the "Mexican" scope so I used taco sauce instead.

INGREDIENTS:
6 or more corn tortillas
2 boneless chicken breasts, cubed
2 strings of scallions, chopped
1 jar of taco sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
half a cup of chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to season
a sprinkle of dried oregano
sliced tomatoes(round)

Sautee the cubed chicken breasts in heated olive oil. Add the scallions. Season with salt and pepper and dried oregano.

In a medium baking pan, spread 1/2 of the taco sauce on the bottom of the pan, layer 3 corn tortilla, overlapping from each other. Add 1/2 of the chicken mixture, half of the finely chopped cilantro, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering process, starting with the sauce, then the chicken, cilantro, sauce and cheese. Top with sliced tomatoes.

Cover with foil, then bake in the oven, 365F for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
