Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 2 pounds - Ground Beef
  2. 2 whole - Large Poblano Chile Peppers
  3. 3 tablespoons - Chili Powder
  4. 2 cans - Fire-roasted Diced Tomatoes
  5. 1 cans - Corn kernels
  6. 1 cans - Mild Enchilada Sauce
  7. 1 cups - Chopped Cilantro
  8. 8 whole - Flour Tortillas
  9. 8 ounces-fluid - 2% milk Cheddar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Coat two 8-9 inch (1.5-2 qt) square or round baking dishes with cooking spray.
2. Put beef and peppers in a deep 12-in. nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up chunks of meat, 9 minutes or until beef is browned and peppers are crisp-tender.
3. Stir in chili powder; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, corn and enchilada sauce; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
4. To assemble each lasagna: Line bottom of each baking dish with 1 tortilla (it may come up the sides of the dish a bit). Top each with a rounded cup of meat mixture, then 1/4 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers 3 times.
5. Cover lasagna you are baking now with nonstick foil. Bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cover second lasagna with plastic wrap, then wrap tightly in nonstick foil. Freeze up to 2 months. (When ready to reheat, follow instructions in notes.)
6. Uncover lasagna and bake 10 minutes more or until heated through. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes before cutting.
