Directions
Mexican Lasagna With Black Beans and Corn,Very tasty and fast. Make it a complete dinner just by adding a salad. It looks like a lot of steps, but it is easy. For a spicier dish, you can also use diced tomatoes with jalapenos. Do not use light or fat-free sour cream because it will curdle during baking. You can also add 1 cup of shredded, cooked chicken along with the black beans and corn in Steps 4 and 5. From the authors of ‘Desperation Dinners.’,I followed most of the recipe, except I cut out the egg & tomato sauce (too runny). used Ro-Tel diced tomatoes/green chiles/onions & sauted diced red & yellow bell peppers! I added a package of Taco seasoning instead of using different seasonings. I also added a little cilantro, Mexican rice & mixed into the black beans! It was delicious & very FILLING!! used extra sour cream, green onions, sliced olives & guacamole as a great garnish!! I could’ve added ground turkey or chicken but wanted to make it vegetarian! YUMMY
