Verde Chicken Mexican Lasagna
Mix together the chicken, black beans, sour cream, green salsa, corn, cilantro and spices. Now would be the time to taste your mix and add any additional spices you want! Want more salsa? Go for it! Add some hot sauce? Sure (just none for me!!)!
In your 9x13 pan layer 1/3 of your meat mixture, then cut up the tortillas to fit, making a single layer, then sprinkle on 1/3 of your cheese.
I layer my tortillas like this and then cut up a couple more to fit the middle. It's kinda fun - like a puzzle!
In the end you should have three complete layers (chicken, tortillas, and cheese). Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and everything is warmed through and bubbly and gooey and yummy.
