Mexican Lasagna

This was really really good and not too hard to make. It required about 30 minutes of prep time and then 30 minutes bake time.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped green pepper
2 1/2 c chunky salsa
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
12 corn tortillas
1 container cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese
1 can sliced olives, drained

Preheat oven to 375. In a large skillet brown the beef and drain. Add onions and peppers and cook until they are crisp-tender. Add salsa, corn, beans, and seasonings and mix well. In a 13x9 baking dish, layer one third of the meat mixture then half of the tortillas. Put a layer of cottage cheese and then another layer of meat and tortillas. Finish up with a final layer of cottage cheese and the last of the meat. Cover with shredded cheese and olives. Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.
