In my fridgerator I had a massive amount of lentils and rice. I way over-estimated how much I would need for hosting 2 meals for friends. I also had a nearly full jar of marinara sauce and a whole package of white corn tortillas barely touched. We (I) was getting pretty sick of just rice and lentils for dinner so I decided to make a mexican style lasagna using the tortillas as noodles. I have seen this done a couple times before.
I chopped some onion and garlic. Sprinkled half on bottom of dish with some sauce. The next layer were oiled tortillas overlapping to cover entire dish. Lentils and rice was next, then sauce, grated cheese, more tortillas, onion/garlic, rice/lentils, more sauce and topped with cheese. You can obviously layer however you desire-- Have fun and be creative!
I seasoned with oregano (for the Italian part of it) and cumin (for the mujadara part!) and baked in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes covered then 15 minutes uncovered.
Would be perfectly completed with a fresh green salad!
