From Dave Wresinki

Child of Chicken Enchilasagna
Serves 8

 

2 cans green enchilada sauce
1 cup salsa (save the rest of the jar to put on top)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts -- cooked and chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
12 corn tortillas -- cut into pieces (like little pizza slices)
1 can black beans -- drained
1/2 pound low-fat cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 13 x 9 pan. In a saucepan,
combine enchilada sauce and salsa and simmer for a couple of minutes. Pull from the heat.

In a bowl, add about 1 cup or more enchilada/salsa sauce to the chicken to moisten. Set aside.

On the bottom of the pan, pour enough sauce to cover the pan. Place
chopped corn tortillas on top, a layer of chicken, a layer of beans, a little layer of cheese. Repeat these layers till everything is used up. Top with remaining sauce and remaining cheese.

Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes. After you pull it out, let it rest 10 minutes, then dig in!

SERVING HINTS: Serve with steamed broccoli and acorn squash. (pre-cook squash for 15 minutes--just pierced and right on the rack in the oven, then let it cool a second, peel it and get rid of the seeds, cut it up in a casserole dish and throw a little honey over the top and some nutmeg. Keep it covered. You can add a little orange juice, too)
