Flour tortillas replace traditional lasagna noodles in this south-of-the-border-inspired casserole.

Tortilla Lasagna

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
2 small green or red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 (16-ounce) jar mild to medium heat taco sauce
10 (6-inch) fajita-size flour tortillas - divided use
2 cups shredded Mexican blend or Monterey Jack cheese - divided use

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (175°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Stir in bell peppers, onion, chiles and seasoning mix. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender.
3. Spread 1/2 cup taco sauce onto bottom of prepared baking dish. Cover with 5 tortillas. Spread with half of chicken mixture and another ½ cup taco sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
