Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapenos, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent. Reduce heat to medium-low and add salsa, black beans, corn, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a simmer and let simmer. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Combine 2 cups pepper Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Place 6 corn tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add 1/2 of the vegetable mixture using a slotted spoon, followed by 1/2 of the cheese and spinach mixture. Add a layer of 6 tortillas and follow with remaining vegetables and remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining tortillas. Spread enchilada sauce across the top and remaining pepper Jack cheese. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly. (45-60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced tomatoes to the vegetable mixture.
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite veggies, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
If you don't have pepper Jack cheese, Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese can be used as substitutes.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them before layering.

    The combination of flavors is incredible. So much better than traditional lasagna!

  • Shannon Marquardt

    Don't skip draining the spinach well. It can make the lasagna watery.

  • Syble Bergstrom

    I added some chopped mushrooms to the vegetable mixture for extra flavor.

  • Pierce Dooley

    I used flour tortillas instead of corn, and it worked perfectly!

  • Monroe Hudson

    Freezes well! I made a double batch and froze half for later.

  • Shanel Tromp

    A little spicy for my taste, but still delicious. I'll use less jalapeno next time.

    Easy to make and a great way to use up leftover veggies.
