Richard'S Mexican Lasagna
- 1 bag flour tortillas sliced into 1 inch squares
- 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado
- 1 rotisserie chicken (remove and discard the skin, tear the meat into bite-sized bits)
- olive oil
- 3-5 jalapenos (sliced, seeds optional)
- 2 green bell peppers
- 1 bunch green onions
- 2-6 cloves garlic (pressed or diced)
- 1 pint box mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 pint box tomatoes (cherry or grape, sliced)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 zucchini (optional, sliced)
- 1 zucchini squash (optional, sliced)
- 1 carrot (optional, diced)
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Stew the veggies with the spices for 20 minutes (save avocado for later). Spice to taste. Over-spice it, since the cheese and tortillas will tame it. It's pretty safe to over-spice with the chili based spices, but be careful to not go too heavy with the cumin. I like to spice it up until it seems too spicy.
- Layer it into a large (15x10) lasagna pan. A thin coat of olive oil on bottom, then single layer of tortilla bits, then chicken, then avocado, then veggie stuff (use a slotted spoon so you can save the sauce for later), then cheese. Repeat. Spoon on 2/3 of the sauce onto the top cheese layer. Top with tortilla layer. Spoon (or brush) the remaining sauce evenly over top tortilla layer. The tortillas on top will end up a bit crispy. There won't be much sauce, so use it sparingly.
- Cover with foil, heat 450 around 45 - 50 minutes (wait for it to boil up the sides -- glass lasagna pan works best so you can see if it is boiling).
- Prep time about an hour.
- Cook time about 45 minutes.
