Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Spray a 13 x 9" pan with cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken, onions, green peppers and garlic until chicken is no longer pink (break up chunks of chicken while cooking). Add black beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder, and cumin and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Add pasta sauce, salsa and black pepper, bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. To assemble, pour 1/3 sauce mixture into the bottom of the casserole dish, top with 1/2 of the tortillas (cuttting them to fit). Top with a 1/3 of the sauce mixture, followed by 1/2 of the cheese. Cover cheese with remaining tortillas, followed by remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese over sauce and sprinkle with green onions. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes (or until hot and bubbly). Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Let lasagna stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and baked tortilla chips and salsa.
