If you like a little spice...

...I thought you might enjoy this recipe for what I call Mexican Lasagna. You'll need 6 tortillas (store bought are fine) which are very simple to make with the following instructions ~


Tortillas
2 c. flour
1 t. salt
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 c. oil
3/4 c. boiling water

Mix dry and wet ingredients separately and then mix together; form into six balls. Roll them flat (very thin) and lay in fry pan at low/medium heat (no oil in pan!) until brown bubbles appear.

But on to the lasagna~
2c. ground beef spaghetti sauce
1 1/4 c. salsa
1 roma tomato
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 onion
(any other vegetables you choose)
grated cheddar cheese

Mix sauce and salsa together. Lay 2 tortillas on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and spoon 1/2 of the sauce on top. Sprinkle with vegetables and repeat. Lay last 2 tortillas on top of second layer and sprinkle cheese. Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes. A dollop of sour cream goes great on top if you need to cool it down. What I like is that it's such a forgiving dish and it's a great way to use up leftovers. Last time I made it I used extra sloppy joe filling I had in the fridge :) I also made a loaf of cheese and onion bread topped with roasted garlic and a quick tossed salad.
Bon appetit!
