Mexican Lasagna

I found this recipe on Pinterest and should have known when I saw the picture it was a Pioneer Woman recipe.  It was so good and so easy to make and it's got a kick to it too!
Ingredients:

2 cups Unprepared Rice, I used one Boil in the Bag

3 cups Chicken Broth/stock
2 whole Tomatoes, cut into bite size pieces
1 whole Onion, chopped
4 cloves of Garlic, minced
Butter
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
1 can Black Beans, drained
1 lb pound Lean Ground Beef (I used ground Turkey)
1 jar (8 Ounce) Salsa Verde
Flour Tortillas
1 1/2 packages Mexican Cheese Blend
8 ounces Enchilada Sauce
1 can Corn, Drained
Sour Cream, to taste
Cilantro, to taste

Directions:

-  Boil rice in the chicken broth for 10 minutes.
-  Saute tomatoes, onion and garlic in a table spoon of butter.
-  Add some of the taco seasoning and stir.
-  Add black beans and cook until heated.
-  Stir in cooked rice.
-  In a separate pan brown meat and add remaining taco seasoning and water to make the taco meat.
-  In a 9x13 baking dish pour 1/2 of the salsa Verde in the bottom of the pan.
-  Place a layer of tortillas over the sauce (tortillas will over lap)
-  Divide the rice mixture in half and spread over tortillas.
-  Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese over the rice mixture.
-  Add another layer of tortillas and top with enchilada sauce.
-  Top with all of the meat, the corn and remaining rice mixture.
-  Pour remaining salsa Verde over the top.
-  Top with remaining cheese.
-  Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
-  I served it with a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado.
