Meatless Mexican Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic, undrained
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
3 green onions, sliced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 corn tortillas (6 inches)
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
6 tablespoons plain yogurt

Directions
In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place two tortillas in an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread with half of the corn mixture; sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat layers.
Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt. Yield: 6 servings.
This was a nice, light dish. Unfortunately, it was light enough that Brian and I each had two servings. C had some too, but the green chilies were a little spicy for her. I added in two extra tortillas because four small tortillas for six servings didn't seem like very much. And it wasn't. I figure that even though we had two servings, it was still much healthier than a typical meat and potatoes meal. Bonus: Since there is no meat, it is a relatively frugal meal. If you want to make it more filling, add more tortillas.
