Imagining is FUN....








Imagine with me Ralph Macchio marries Jennifer Lopez and they decide to collaborate on a cookbook combining their rich family heritages...what would you get ? How about an Italian Lasagna with a little Spanish kick ?! Sounds too good to be true doesn't it ? And yet, this is what my family feasted on tonight. So yummy !

CHICKEN TORTILLA LASAGNA

3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1 tsp fresh chopped jalapeno peppers
2 TB minced garlic
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cups Classico Tomato and Basil sauce
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup salsa
16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
15 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Disclaimer: I halved this recipe for my picky family.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Simmer together chicken, seasonings, peppers, garlic, and sauces for 10 minutes over low heat.

In a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish place a little sauce in the bottom then a layer of corn tortillas, then a layer of chicken/sauce, and a layer of mozz cheese. Repeat layers twice topping the casserole with cheddar cheese. Bake for about 40-50 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
