So yummy, we love Mexican. This recipe is like the below which Melinda makes often:
Chicken and Black Bean Tortilla Stack
4 Burrito size Tortillas
1 can refried beans
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
3-4 chicken breasts, diced and cooked, seasoned with Cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, garlic powder
1 cup shredded cheese (pizza blend is what we use) plus ½ cup additional cheese for topping
1 cup salsa
on a baking sheet lined with foil place 1 tortilla, spread 1/3 of refried beans then 1/3 black beans then 1/3 chicken then 1/3 cheese then 1/3 salsa all over to edges.
Repeat until all ingredients have been used and you end with a plain tortilla
Sprinkle additional cheese on top, Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until HOT
Garnish with sour cream, green onions, side of rice or ice cold margaritas LOL

Yum!! I've made a mexican lasagna very similar to that! Actually, it freezes quite well and was great to have on hand after my 2nd son was born!
We also make our own refried beans...so yummy, which you could add in this: http://www.savingcentswithsense.net/2009/03/ultimate-recipe-swap-homemade-refried.html
