Mexican Lasagne



I was inspired for this one by Nigella Lawson's vegetarian version of this dish. Of course to make it a main dish my twist on this is to add real Mexican chilli beef. If you have made my version of Chilli from earlier and have some saved then this will be an easy way to make a different meal out of the remainder. The brilliant thing about this is that everything is already cooked and just really needs crisping up and the cheese to melt. Anyway try this one out if your feeling spicy!

Ingredients.

1. White or Wholemeal Tortilla's
2. Grated Cheese
3. Beef Chilli (see Big Dave's Chilli Recipe)
4. Chopped Tomatoes (tinned or fresh)
5. Optional - broken up nacho's for a crunchy layer
6. Chopped red chilli
7. Chopped red pepper
8. Fresh coriander chopped.
9. 3 cloves garlic crushed

Method

1. Grease a large lasagne dish with a small amount of olive oil
2. Layer some of the chopped tomatoes in the base of the dish so there is a uniform even layer.
3. Sprinkle on some of the garlic, coriander and red pepper
4. Add a layer of chilli beef along with the optional nacho's (if required).
5. Sprinkle on a layer of grated cheese
6. Add a layer of tortilla's making sure it covers the edges.
7 Repeat points 2-6 until you reach the top of your dish.
8. Add a layer of cheese on your top tortilla's
9. Place in the oven on 220 for around 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Pour a shot of tequila, wear a big fake moustache and put on your biggest hat and do Speedy Gonzales impressions ;)
