--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2                onion
 28      ozs           canned tomatoes
 14      ozs           picante sauce
    1/4  oz            taco seasoning mix
 16      ozs           black beans, canned -- rinsed

  8      ozs           lasagna noodles
  1      lb            cooked chicken breast cubes
  4      ozs           chopped green chiles
  8      ozs           shredded lowfat monterey Jack cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  In a food processor with the metal
blade, chop the
onion.  Add the tomatoes with their juice, salsa, and taco seasoning and
pulse until
the tomatoes are in small pieces, 3 or 4 times. Remove to a medium bowl
and
stir in the beans to make  the sauce.  In small bowl, mix the egg whites
with the
ricotta cheese; set aside. Spread 1 cup of the bean sauce over the bottom
of a
13x9x2-in casserole dish coated with nonstick cooking  spray. Top with 5
noodles, overlapping slightly.   Sprinkle with half the chicken, half the
chilies,
and 2 more cups of the sauce.  Spoon out the ricotta cheese  mixture and
spread
it out lightly.  Top with half the shredded cheese, 5 more remaining
noodles, and the
remaining chicken, chilies, sauce, and cheese.  Bake uncovered for 40
minutes, or
until the noodles are tender  when pierced with sharp knife.  Cool at
least 20 minutes
before serving.
