This is sooo good and easy, I found it in a grocery newsletter. My first time using eggplant, I am surprised how well Dh and I like it.

Mexican Eggplant Bake

3 italian eggplant, peeled and sliced
1 16 oz jar salsa
6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
1 4 oz can diced green chilis
1 2.2 os can sliced olives, drained
1 8 oz package queso shredded cheese

sour cream cilantro, to garnish

preheat oven to 400

spray cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray and 9" baking dish
place eggplant slices on cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes.

Spread 1/4 c salsa in bottom of dish, layer 1/3 of tortillas on top, top with 1/2 eggplant, chilis and olives. sprinkle with 1/3 cheese. spread with 1/2 of remaining salsa. add another layer of tortillas, eggplant, chilis olives and cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, salsa and cheese, cover and bake for 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

make 6 servings

my notes: I used about a 10' square dish and got 9 servings. I used as many tortillas to layer and used Pace picante sauce. I also used monterey jack cheese instead of the queso cheese. I used one large eggplant, that was enough dont know if it was italian or not. I think some black beans would be good too.

I forgot to add, I have made it with beans and added corn too. I love it with the beans, gets that needed protein

I have gotten over my early mishaps with eggplant, and have been going nuts with it this year! Yum!

Thx for posting. I think tomatoes & bell peppers would be great additions, too.

Do the tortillas get all mushy? Can't decide whether or not that's good or bad

I never have had corn tortillas get mushy, so that wont be a problem. I think you can very and add a lot to this recipe
