Enchilada Lasagna

• 1 lb ground sirloin or 1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb cut up chicken breast
• 1 poblano pepper, diced
• 1 anaheim chili, diced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 -3 large garlic cloves, diced
• 1 12 cups diced tomatoes (give or take...)
• 7 ounces green chilies
• 2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce (or make your own)
• 2 cups mexican cheese (low fat...whatever you prefer)
• 12 corn tortillas or 12 flour tortillas
• 12 cup salsa (or more to your preference)
• 12 ounces corn chips (or more to your preference)
• 12 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 tablespoons sour cream (I use low fat)

1. If your making your own enchilada sauce, start it first.
2. We really like this recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-enchilada-sauce-222519.
3. While the enchilada sauce is simmering, dice up the Chiles, peppers, onions and garlic.
4. Saute the meat (chicken or beef) in a large saute pan with the veg.
5. Start the saute with a tbl or so of EVOO.
6. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
7. Once the meat is cooked, drain the pan of the excess oil/grease, if any.
8. Add in the tomatoes and green chiles.
9. Saute a bit longer -- warming the tomatoes and chiles.
10. (Can use a can or two of rotel if you don't have fresh).
11. Mix in 1/3 of the enchilada sauce and 1/2 the cheese to the meat / veg mixture.
12. Take the mixture off the heat.
13. Cut the tortillas in half.
14. Spray a light covering of EVOO in 9X12 pan.
15. Place a thin layer of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan.
16. Add a layer (1/3) of the tortillas on the bottom of the pan.
17. Place 1/2 of the veg / meat mixture on top of the tortillas.
18. Add another layer (tortillas / rest of veg & meat), top with last 1/3 of tortillas.
19. Pour or spoon enchilada sauce on top of last layer.
20. Top with last 1/2 of the cheese.
21. Bake at 350 for 20 min to warm all of the ingredients.
22. Watch it towards the end - you may need to put tin foil over the top in case the cheese starts to burn / crisp too much.
23. Let it sit a few minutes (5) to solidify a bit and make it easier to cut.
24. Top with sour cream, cilantro, serve with corn chips and salsa -- Enjoy!
