Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the plantains and cook until tender and darkly caramelized on both sides, about 10 minutes. Add more coconut oil as needed, a teaspoon at a time, if the pan gets dry. Remove the plantains from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Add the onions and peppers to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until golden brown and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
Step 4
Melt 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Fry the tortillas in the oil until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and reserve.
Step 5
Pour 1 1/2 cups of the salsa into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of 6 tortillas, then layer with half of the rice, corn, black beans, sauteed onions and peppers and fried plantains. Sprinkle with half of the fajita seasoning and one-third of the Jack cheese. Add another layer of 6 tortillas and spread evenly with 1 1/2 cups of the salsa. Repeat the layering. Top with the remaining 6 tortillas, 1 1/2 cups salsa, Jack cheese and the ground tortilla chips.
Step 6
Bake, uncovered, until the top is golden brown and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes.
Step 7
Top as you like, and enjoy! Enchalasagna!!!!!!!
