Best 8 Mexican Chicken And Poblano Lasagna Recipes

CHICKEN MEXICAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Before we get to the recipe, you can layer your ingredients in any order you like. You can change ingredients and add extra ingredients. Make it your own. Start by combining the chicken, cream cheese, and about 1.5-2 cups of poblano cream sauce. Stir until well mixed. You want the chicken to be well coated without it being too saucy. To start assembling the Mexican Lasagna, you want to place a single layer of tortillas in the bottom of a casserole dish. I used a ceramic dish and did not need to grease it. You want to create the best layer of tortillas that you can and you will likely need to slice tortillas in half or cut the edges off. Next, spread all of the refried beans on top of the tortillas in an even layer. Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup cheese. Then add another layer of tortillas. Pour the salsa over the tortillas and sprinkle half of the raw corn over. Top with another layer of tortillas. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas to make the next layer. Drizzle some extra poblano cream sauce over the top. Add another layer of tortillas. Drain and rinse the black beans and spread half of them over the tortillas. Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of cheese and drizzle about 1/2 cup of poblano cream sauce over the top. Add another layer of tortillas. Add the remaining chicken mixture and top with a last layer of tortillas. For the last layer, spread about 1/2 cup of the poblano cream sauce over the top of the tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining corn, black beans, and cheese over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until hot and the cheese has browned. If you are assembling in advance and refrigerating you may need to increase the bake time. If you like, you can garnish with sliced grape tomatoes and green onion.

MEXICAN POBLANO, SPINACH, AND BLACK BEAN "LASAGNE" WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare chiles:
• Lay 4 chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. Roast chiles, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened and chiles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or broil all 12 chiles on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat, turning, until skins are blackened, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer immediately to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Roast remaining 8 chiles in same manner, then let stand 20 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, peel chiles, then open flat and discard seeds and stems, wiping with paper towels or dunking in a bowl of water briefly, if necessary, to remove seeds. If chiles taste very spicy, cut out ribs with scissors to make them milder.
• Make tomato sauce:
• Purée tomatoes with juice, garlic, cilantro, sugar, and salt in a blender. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add sauce (be careful of splattering) and simmer, stirring, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 6 minutes.

• Gently simmer cream, with epazote if using, in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 10 minutes. If using epazote, pour cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding epazote. Return cream to pan. Whisk in goat cheese and salt and heat over low heat, whisking until smooth.
• Make spinach filling:
• Blanch spinach in batches in a large pot of boiling salted water 1 minute, transferring with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of cold water to cool. Drain in a colander, pressing on spinach with back of a spoon to remove excess water, then coarsely chop.
• Heat oil in cleaned nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté spinach and raisins, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in salt and transfer filling to a plate.

Arrange 4 poblanos flat over black beans to cover, then spread half of spinach filling evenly over chiles and drizzle with 1/4 cup goat cheese sauce. Make another layer with 4 chiles, remaining spinach filling, and another 1/4 cup of goat cheese sauce, then cover with remaining 4 chiles.
