(The following is an AIM debate between my dear friend Christine and myself.)

Kelly: I never considered myself to be an indecisive person.


Christine: Kelly, you kind of are. You made my mom wander around the food court for two hours to find a place you’d want to eat. And then you went back to the first place.

Kelly: I did not.

Christine: Well it happened. I’m not crazy.

Kelly: Well, if you’re not crazy, then I’m not indecisive.

Christine: Kelly you are indecisive! You take three and a half years to decide what to wear. “Should I wear this, Christine? Or how about this? No, maybe this? I should wear this! Oh wait no I shouldn’t. But I probably shoul-“

Kelly: I have no idea what you’re talking about. You must be thinking of someone else.

Christine: Then you’re really indecisive and have an even worse memory.

Kelly: No, I can’t be both. You have to pick one. You need to be decisive like me.

Christine: Sure.

Kelly: Right.

Christine: ‘Kay.

Kelly: Fine.

Christine: Good.

Kelly: Whatever.

Christine: These pointless one word responses are making me hungry.

Kelly: Really? I think they’re entertaining.

Christine: What are you making for dinner?

Kelly: Mexican lasagna. I couldn’t decide between Mexican or Italian. All I know is it’s hard to photograph.

Christine: Ha! I told you. You can’t make a decision!

Kelly: Now that’s not fair. One time. ONE.

Christine: It’s completely fair.

Kelly: That would never hold up in a court of law.

Christine: Kelly, you wouldn’t be able to decide what court to go to. You can’t decide on lasagna for crying out loud.

Kelly: Sure.

Christine: Right.

Kelly: ‘Kay.

Christine: Fine.

Kelly: Good.

Christine: Whatever.

Kelly: But I’m keeping the lasagna for myself.

Mexican Lasagna for Indecisive People (Vegan option, Gluten free, Low fat, Low Calorie)

You can be the most decisive person in the world (Christine) and still love this lasagna. It’s cheesy comfort for the soul.  And on the off-chance you can’t decide between Mexican or Italian, I feel your pain. Just take this recipe and thank me later. 

Serves 4

Ingredients

6 corn tortillas

1 14.5 ounce dice tomatoes (fire roasted prefered)

1 14.5 ounce can of low fat/ fat free vegetarian refried beans

1c. Mexican or cheddar cheese, shredded (vegan, if you prefer)

1.5c. salsa

1/2T chili powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F

In a medium bowl, mix beans, diced tomatoes, and chili powder. In a 2 quart casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray, spoon 1/3 of bean mixture into the bottom. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to cover it up completely.

Now layer:

2 tortillas

1/3 bean mixture

1/2c. salsa

1/4c. cheese

2 tortillas

remaining of bean mixture

1/2c. salsa

1/4c. cheese

2 tortillas

remaining of salsa (1 cup)

1/2c. cheese

Bake in the oven at 350F for 30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

 

Indecision tastes amazing.

Enjoy!

  1. I'm the type of person that wanders around forever and ends up going back to the first place. You have to scope out all the options! I've never tried mexican lasagna before but it sounds delicious. I love mexican food! Hmm this makes me wonder what other kinds of lasagna you could try. I'd like to try making indian lasagna!

  3. This post made me smile, because I am such an indecisive person sometimes. Especially when it comes to food iI want to eat. My boyfriend and I would plan a dinner to make and an hour later I would change my mind and want something completely different! My mom used to make Mexican Lasagna all the time when I was younger! I am going to have to start making it again. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog earlier and for such a sweet comment! It is greatly appreciated! I cannot wait to check out more of your yummy recipes!

    • Aaw, thank you! This comment made me smile! We need to make sure we're getting the best food possible, right? Even if that does require changing our minds a few times. ;) Thank you for stopping by my blog! It is such a pleasure to read yours.

  4. I have a realllyyy similar recipe and I absolutely love it. It is so easy! I am also an extremely indecisive person. It is so annoying sometimes, but I just like to be careful before jumping into any decisions. It probably pays off in the long run, right? ;)

  5. You are totally decisive - you decided to combine the two. Nothing wrong with that :) The comment about wandering around the food court made me laugh though, because I do that all the time. It's also not uncommon for me to change 2 or 3 times before leaving the house in the morning. I feel you, girl.

  7. Errr your friend would accuse me of indecision too then!! Especially come breakfast time. This is a clever recipe Kelly~Sounds delicious. My food dialogues with Greg often go: Greg: what do you feel like eatin' tonight? me: Hmmm anything is fine. YOU choose! :) Greg: I don't feel like making decisions tonight. And you're the one with tummy aches and stuff. me: no seriously...okay, do you want Korean, italian, sandwich, fish, mexican..? And on and on. Until my stomach is now hurting and burning because I'm so hungry. haha!
