2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes no salt added

Directions-

4. Spoon half of the beef mixture over top of the tortillas, spread evenly. Layer tortillas on top of beef mixture. Smooth 1/3 of the enchilada sauce over tortillas. Sprinkle ½ of the cheese on top. Sprinkle the green chiles over the cheese. Add the remaining beef mixture. Spread evenly. Layer tortillas on top of beef mixture. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of tortillas. Garnish top with olives and scallions.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and lasagna is warmed through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cilantro.
