Hi Debbie, Here are some recipes for you:

MEXICAN LASAGNA

1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chili powder
10 ounces enchilada sauce
10 flour tortillas
16 ounces black beans, refried
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked & shredded
1/4 cup diced green chile pepper
1 cup sliced black olives
2 cups lowfat cheddar or jack cheese, grated
1 tomato, sliced thin

Lightly saute the onion and bell pepper with cilantro and chili powder.

Coat bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish (or Dutch oven) with some of the enchilada sauce, then simply layer the ingredients, starting with a tortillas topped with more sauce. Alternate black bean and chicken layers, and include some of the onion/pepper mixture, chiles, and olives with each. Layer 1/2 of the cheese in the middle and add the tomato as desired, reserving enough slices to cover top.

Top last tortilla with enchilada sauce, remaining cheese, tomato slices, and olives; pour any extra sauce down the sides of the stack.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Remove, uncover, and let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
