Here is how you make Mexican Style - Low Fat Lasagna:

Prep your veggies (dice your onions, mince garlic, heat up your refried beans, etc). Make your sauce, in a pan on medium heat cook your onions (I used non-calorie cooking spray, but you can use oil if you choose). Once slightly soft, add in your crushed tomatoes and the seasonings, let this simmer about 10-15 minutes, and remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. In a separate bowl - combine 1/2 of your shredded cheese, 1 minced garlic clove, salt and pepper, and I add a little dash o red chili flake (totally optional) Heat up your re-fried beans to make them easier to spread out. Layers (as many as you can achieve in your given casserole dish) - starting at the bottom: 1) Sauce2) 1-2 Tortillas - Cut in 1/2 to hit all the sides of the dish (for example - I use 1 1/2 for each tortilla layer b/c that's what my dish's shape is) 3) Layer of Ultra thin cheese slices4) Cottage cheese mixture5) Tortillas again (same as 2)6) Cheese (same as 3)7) Refried Beans8) Tortillas9) Sauce ... and then repeat as many times as possible with sauce being your final layerTop with the crushed tortilla chips and remaining shredded cheese, your diced fresh tomatoes and green onion. Cover and bake for about 45 minute at 350 - until bubbly. Remove cover and bake for the last 15 and then let this site to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
