Ingredients

1 pound dried lasagna noodles (1 box)
19 ounces Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce (1 can)
8 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (great for using up leftovers)
15 ounces black beans, drained (1 can)
1 cup chopped bell pepper, (heaping) I used two colors
2 cloves garlic minced
2 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/2 cups chopped scallions
1 Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Packet

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set a large pot of salted water over high heat, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked to al dente, lay them out on a clean tea towel.
Meanwhile, place the Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce in the blender and add the cream cheese. Blend until smooth. Pour half of the cheese sauce into the baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken, black beans, bell peppers, garlic, 2 cups shredded cheese, scallions, and taco seasoning. Spread the mixture evenly over 12 lasagna noodles. Roll each noodle, tucking bits back into the rolls if they fall out. Place the rolls in the baking dish. Once all the rolls are in the dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Garnish with chopped scallions or cilantro if desired.

Notes

Storing Leftovers - When they are stored in an airtight container, these rolls can last 3 to 5 days in the fridge.

Freezing - This is a great freezer recipe! Cover well and freeze for up to 3 months. Place it in the fridge the night before you want to serve it, then bake it in the oven to reheat.

Make Ahead - Prep these cheesy Southwestern lasagna rolls ups all the way up to baking, then cover and refrigerate for several days. Straight from the refrigerator, the baking time will be closer to 40-45 minutes.
