Cinco De Mayo has been on my mind lately and one of my favorite Mexican dishes is this Mexican Style Lasagna....all in one dish. We have been trying to eat a bit lighter lately here at home and when I received an invite to enter a blogger contest hosted by Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa in Miami, FL., where you enter a recipe you love and challenge the chef at Pritikin to “Pritikinize” {or lighten up} the recipe, making it healthy to eat...I just HAD to enter.

Mexican food is probably my favorite type of food to eat. This Mexican Style Lasagna does not disappoint...melted cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, beef and more, all layered into one dish. SO good.
So here's what you need to do. Chop up 1/2 an onion and throw it in a skillet with one pound of ground beef to brown.
Drain any excess fat. Add one can each of corn, black beans {rinsed}, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce and taco seasoning.
Simmer for 15 minutes.
In a baking dish, begin layering. Start with 1/3 of the mixture.
Add a layer of flour tortillas.
More mixture and sprinkle some grated cheese on top of that.
Keep layering until all mixture is used. Before adding the top layer of tortillas and cheese, spread some sour cream over the mixture {optional}. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.
Enjoy! SO good!
