Mexican Lasagna

Why should the italians have all the fun! I say lets mix it up, mexican style =) This is a slightly heavier dish that is full of flavor and gives you lots of energy to conquer your bed.

Ingredients:
2 medium sized tomatoes, chopped into small pieces
1 onion, diced
1 can of vegetarian refried beans (available at most stores)
sour cream
1 packet of St. Yves Soy Ground Round (or your favorite kind of ground meat substitute)
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar and jack are good, but choose your favorite, you cant really go wrong)
3 burrito size flour or corn tortillas (or if your feeling sassy you can try using tortilla or corn chips, some get soggy, others stay crunchy, blue corn chips sound interesting)

This dish leaves much to the imagination. There is no rule on the order of things, but this is how I do it.

1. In a 9"x9" square baking glass i lay down a tortilla.
2. Then i spread a layer of refried beans down and then a thin layer of Ground Round.
3. Sprinkle about half of the tomatoes and onions, then cheese (if you want to you can sautee the onions in a little butter before hand so they are well done)
4. Lay down the next tortilla, more beans and Ground Round.
5. Sprinkle the rest of the tomatoes and onions.
6. Dollop some sour cream
7. Lay on the last tortilla and sprinkle rest of cheese on top of that.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 20 min. or untill cheese is melted and top tortilla looks crispy.

Ay Carumba! That's some tasty lasagna.
