How to Make Mexi Corn Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce, 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa (mild or medium), 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional), and 1 teaspoon ground cumin to the skillet.
  4. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix well.
  6. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 large flour tortillas on the bottom and up the sides of the dish, overlapping as needed.
  7. Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  8. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the meat.
  9. Arrange the remaining 6 tortillas on top, overlapping as needed.
  10. Top with the remaining meat mixture.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole, if desired.
