ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1 1⁄2 cups tomatoes, crushed

directions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray baking sheet with Pam.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and add onion, garlic and green pepper and cook stirring until softened (5 minutes). Stir in cumin and cook another minute.
  • Stir in tomatoes, water and chilies and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened (15 minutes). (I also thought it would be great to add 1 can of chopped black olives).
  • Brush 1 side of each tortilla with oil and cut into 1 inch strips -- place on baking sheet and bake until crisp (10 minutes). Set aside.
  • Reduce oven temp to 350-degrees F.
  • Layer half of the tortilla strips in baking dish and top with half of the sauce and half of the cheese. Repeat layers.
  • Bake until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly -- 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream, salsa and chopped jalapenos, if desired.

  1. I've made this for years BUT I add1 lb. of cooked ground beef to the sauce and, after otherwise preparing as described in the recipe, topped with a can of enchilada sauce and more grated pepper-jack cheese (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup).

  2. Wonderful variation on lasagna! We loved the flavors - the tomato sauce was just lovely, and it produced a creamy, delicious dish with plenty of sauce. I dolloped with a bit of sour cream and chopped cilantro, but it has plenty of flavor on its own! Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 42

  3. Now this is my kind of dish! I loved, loved, loved, everything about this! The only change was I used the grill (I was grilling other stuff) for cooking the veggies, and getting the tortillas crisp. I oiled the 1 inch strips (tortillas) and put on side of grill that didn't have direct heat, and let em' crisp up for about 5-6 minutes. I continued on with the recipe as posted. Creamy, lovely, good! I used some fresh jalapeno's AND green peps! This is a true find of a recipe, I LOVE it! Thanks, Elle! Made for Veggie Recipe Swap!

  4. Although I'm not usually too keen on corn tortillas, I did follow your recipe & even included a small can of ripe olives, & we had a great tasting lunch! I did opt out of the sour cream, but did serve a mild salsa on the side! Will be happy to do this one up again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  5. I scaled the recipe down for 2 and used whole wheat tortillas, and a mix of cheddar and monterey jack cheese. This was yummy and I topped it off with a little sour cream and salsa. Best eaten right away! Thanks Ellie! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

  1. Nice recipe but, like another reviewer, I kept looking for the missing ingredien. I made this with ground chorizo, red onion and used the laid from the canned tomatoes in place of the water. The missing ingredient was the chorizo-gave this dish great flavor and a bit of heat. White corn tortillas replaced the yellow corn. Very yummy.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
