- Prep Time 25 min
- Total 60 min
- Servings 8
- Ingredients 15
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic red and yellow diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 mostly black plantains
- Vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 oz)

Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Step2In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook about 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Stir in oregano, cumin and coriander. Cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes.
-
Step3Meanwhile, peel plantains; cut each lengthwise into thin strips. In heavy skillet, heat about 1/4 inch oil Fry plantain strips until golden brown on each side. Remove from skillet to paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.

Step4Once beef mixture has simmered and thickened, stir in olives and cilantro. Remove from heat.
-
Step5To prepare lasagna, arrange one-third of plantains in even layer in bottom of baking dish. Top with half of beef mixture. Sprinkle one-third of cheese over beef. Arrange second one-third of plantains over cheese, followed by remaining beef mixture. Top with another one-third of cheese. Arrange last one-third of plantains on top. Sprinkle with half of remaining cheese.
-
Step6In small bowl, beat eggs and milk with whisk. Pour over top of layered ingredients in baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
-
Step7Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
