mexican lasagna
This is a recipe that I have addapted to low carbing from 30 minute meals from food network. we had it for supper one night and I brought it to work and reheated it for 2 days. My family liked it.
Mexican Lasagna
3 boneless, skinless, raw chicken breast-cubed
1/2 onion-chopped
2 tbsp chile powder
2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1-14 oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup any low carb taco sauce or salsa fresca
3 tbs chopped cilantro
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 chopped green onions- for garnish
sour cream for garnish
chopped black olives for garnish
4-low carb tortillas
saute chicken in a little olive oil until opaque. add onions and spices and cook for another few minutes. add tomatoes, salsa and cilantro. taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper.
put 2 low carb tortillas in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. add 1/2 of the chicken mixture. top with 1/2 of the cheese. add another layer of tortillas, chicken and finally cheese. bake untill bubbly. let sit for 10 minutes or so and it will cut better. top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of green onions and olives.
It makes 8 servings and works out to about 5 net carbs per serving depending on the carb content of the salsa that you use. I find salsa fresca has less so that is what I used. When I reheated this at my office, the whole office wanted the recipe. By the way, I stored this for the next day by putting a square of it in some of that press and seal plastic wrap. then I just nuked it and I didnt even have a tupperware dish to clean up. yeah!
