Fajita Quesadilla Lasagna

This was a creation inspired by leftovers and a Google Recipe Search. I had leftover fajita filling and tortillas from last week and I went in search of recipe to make.

I found this recipe: Quesadilla Lasagna.

I used it as my "inspiration".

Fajita filling- mine was grilled, marinated chicken, sauteed onions and peppers seasoned with fajita seasoning. About 3 cups worth.

I used 6 small tortillas. They came with my fajita kit (Old El Paso) earlier in the week. I also used two large tortillas.

1 cup of your favorite salsa

1 Small can of chili, or your own, without beans.

1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

In a 9x11 baking dish put about 1/4 cup of chili and 3 tablespoons of salsa on the bottom and spread around.

Mix remaining chili with ricotta cheese and set aside.

Place two small tortillas on bottom of pan next to one another. They will probably overlap a tiny bit. Place fajita filling on both tortillas and top with 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Place two more small tortillas on top of filling.

Take half of chili and ricotta mixture and spread on top of tortillas. Spread about 1/3 of remaining cheddar cheese on top of ricotta chili mixture. Pour 1/2 of remaining salsa on top of cheese.

Place two more small tortillas on top first layer, press down slightly. Put remaining fajita filling on top of tortillas. Top with more shredded cheddar cheese. Take first large tortilla and place on top of this layer, pushing edges of tortilla down along sides. Take second large tortilla and place over remainder of layer, these will overlap quite a bit, push edges down along sides and ends, as well.

Take remaining chili and ricotta mixture and spread over top of last layer. Pour remaining salsa on top of chili ricotta mixture and top with all remaining cheese, including mozzarella.

Place in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and lasagna is bubbly. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes then cut and serve like regular lasagna. This can be served with a yellow Spanish rice and a salad.

This can EASILY serve 4 adults, maybe 6 if the pieces are small.

It was REALLY good!!

I included a few pictures, but my food photography is not winning any awards any time soon!!
