Mexi Black Bean Lasagna Rolls

This recipe can be doubled if desired and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. If you are using creamed cottage cheese in place of ricotta you might want to drain slightly. These can be completely prepared covered with plastic wrap and chilled for up to 24 hours before baking. Prep time does not include cooking the lasagna noodles. my Kittencal's Red Enchilada or Taco Sauce works well with this or use your own favorite sauce.
