Mexican Lasagna



Ingredients
       12 flour tortillas (6 inches)
       2 cans (one 28 ounces, one 16 ounces) refried beans cooked
       3 jars (16 ounces each) enchilada sauce (Old El Paso)
       3 large green peppers, chopped
       3 cans (3.8 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained
       6 cups (12 ounces) shredded Mixed Mexican Blend cheese (Cheddar and Monterrey Jack Mix)
       2 Large Onions chopped
      
Directions
  1. 1.   In each of two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes arrange 2 tortillas tortillas. I find it’s easiest to cut each tortilla in half and align the straight edge of tortilla with edge around the pan to form a flat layer
  2. Layer each with 2/3 cup refried beans, 1/2 cup green pepper, 1/2 cup onions, about 1/3 cup olives, 1/2 cup Shredded cheese.
  3. Cover Layer with 1 cup enchilada sauce 
  4. Repeat layers once more starting with tortilla halves
  5. Once last layer is done, cover with last layer of tortilla halves (so that you have used 6 tortillas total)
  6. Cover with Enchilada Sauce so last tortilla layer is smothered
  7. Sprinkle generously with cheese on top
  8. Cover and bake at 350° for 15 minutes
  9. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. 

1 Yield: 2 casseroles (12 servings each).
