Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the sauce:
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 cups water
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For assembly:
12 corn tortillas
4 cups of cooked mashed pinto beans
1 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
1-2 tablespoons chopped green chilies (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Tofu sour cream (optional; recipe available at www.drmcdougall.com)

Steps:

  • For the sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk until well combined. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more chili powder, if desired. Set aside.
  • Place the beans in a large bowl. Add the onions, corn, olives, and green chilies (if using). Mix gently until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups of the sauce in the bottom of a nonstick 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 4 corn tortillas over the bottom of the baking dish; they can overlap or be cut to fit. Spread half of the bean mixture over the tortillas. Place another 4 tortillas over the bean mixture and then spread the remaining bean mixture on top of those tortillas. Cover with 4 more tortillas and then pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Cover with parchment paper and then with aluminum foil, crimping the edges over the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with salsa and tofu sour cream, if desired.

This lasagna is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the combination of cheese, beans, and corn. I also like to add some chopped spinach to the ricotta cheese mixture.

This lasagna is perfect for a weeknight dinner because it's easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I like to serve it with a side of sour cream and salsa.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I also like to add some chopped bell peppers and onions to the filling for an extra boost of flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out great! I used a store-bought enchilada sauce and it worked perfectly. I also added some chopped cilantro to the ricotta cheese mixture for an extra pop of flavor.

I've made this lasagna a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of ground beef, beans, corn, and spices is perfect. I like to add a little extra cheese on top for good measure.
