Mexican meets Italian in this lasagna-like casserole. Corn tortillas replace noodles and traditional marinara sauce is swapped out for a cumin and chili-spiked tomato sauce, made super quick by using the blender to combine all the elements. Feed a crowd this cheesy delight filled with sauteed vegetables layered among the ingredients. A dollop of sour cream add the cool zing to each of the 12 hearty servings, totally ready in under 1 1/2 hours. Serve this alone or get a bag of angel hair coleslaw and dress it with some lime juice and roasted pepitas for a crunchy side salad.
