Mexican Lasagna

Here is another recipe from my MIL.  Also very good.

Mexican Lasagna

1/2 lb. ground beef
2 slices onion, choped
1/2 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups salsa
2 large whole wheat tortillas (use corn or other GF tortillas to make this GF)
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack or mozzarella cheese

Cook beef, onion and garlic in pan.  Drain.  Combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, cumin, and salt.  Spread 1/2 cup of salsa across the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.  Place 1 tortilla over salsa.  Spread half of cottage cheese mixture on top.  Top with half of the beef.  Top with 1/2 cup of salsa and 1/4 cup of cheese.  Repeat layering - tortilla, cottage cheese, beef.  Top with remaining salsa and cheese.  Bake for 30 min. at 350.

*I think it would be good with some beans added to the cottage cheese mixture.
*It would probably work well to prep this ahead and either freeze it for later use or to bake later in the day.
