Mexican Lasagna

What’s not to love about this variation on an Italian favorite?!?  I recommend using a thicker salsa for this recipe. 

4-6 whole wheat tortillas

16-oz jar salsa

1 lb. gr beef, turkey burger

3 tsp chili powder

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1 clove minced garlic

½ medium onion chopped

½ lb sliced mushrooms

1 ½ cup cottage cheese

½ cup sour cream or greek yogurt

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp red pepper (optional)

8 oz pkg shredded cheddar, Mexican blend, quesadilla cheese.

 

Heat oven to 350.  Brown meat and onion and mushrooms in skillet.  Add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder.  Set aside.  IN separate bowl, mix cottage cheese and sour cream, cumin, chili powder, red pepper.  In 1 ½ qt. casserole dish, spoon small amount of salsa on bottom.  Layer with 2 whole wheat tortillas,   half of meat mixture, 1 cup salsa,  ½ of cottage cheese mix, shredded cheese.  Repeat layers, top with shredded cheese.  Bake for 30 minutes.
