Submitted by tinyTigger

"This Mexican lasagna will last up to five days in the refrigerator. It's a terrific make-ahead meal from our Cook Once, Eat All Week Series. It is 6 pts per serving."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• olive oil flavored cooking spray
• 2 lbs uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 30 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 cups nonfat sour cream
• 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, divided
• 8 ounces chopped green chilies, two 4-oz cans
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 medium corn tortillas, cut into 2-inch strips
• 1 cup salsa (mild or medium or hot)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a lasagna pan with cooking spray.
2. Place chicken in medium saucepan and fill with enough cold water just to cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces.
3. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and add beans, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chilies, cumin, and pepper; mix well and set aside.
4. Arrange half of tortillas in bottom of prepared lasagna pan, overlapping pieces to cover surface. Top tortillas with half of chicken mixture, layer with remaining tortillas and then top with remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.
5. Bake until filling is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces. Serve with salsa on the side.

We love this and make it quite often. These make very large, filling servings for just 6 points and we often serve this when we have friends over. No one know it's WW and no one feels deprived.

I made the recipe exactally as written. It lacked flavor and did not look very appetizing. Although we did eat it for dinner.

This really didn't look good but it tasted great! I didn't tell my husband it was a WW recipe and he commented twice on how good it is.
