1 lb ground turkey (beef or chicken ok too)

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup picante sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons ground cumin

Brown meat; drain.
Add corn, tomato sauce, picante sauce, chili powder and cumin.
Simmer, stirring frequently 5 min.
Combine cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic salt; mix well.
Arrange 6 tortillas on bottom& up sides of lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish, overlapping as necessary.
It will come above pan.
Top w/1/2 meat mixture.
Spoon cheese mixture over mixture over meat.
Arrange remaining tortillas over cheese.
Top w/remaining meat mixture.
You can stop here& refrigerate (Lasagna will be more firm if you do, I recommend at least an hour to overnight).
If you don't refrigerate, it will have a more loose form, but still taste wonderful.
Bake in preheated oven 375 about 30 minutes or until hot& bubbly.
Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese& let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

I agree that this went together very quickly and made up a beautiful presentation...I made exactly as directed, but next time I will add a little extra heat to it by adding a few red pepper flakes. Great recipe. Thanks for posting!!!

This was very good!! It was very easy to make and went together quickly. I liked the fact that it could be made ahead to save time. We like our Mexican dishes a little spicy, so next time I think I would season it up to add some heat. Thank you for sharing this recipe...it is a keeper!!
