| 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. | 2. Coat a large baking pan with cooking spray. | 3. Arrange cut plantains into a single layer. Lightly salt and coat with cooking spray. The salt will bring out the sweet flavor of the plantains. | 4. Bake for 7 minutes on each side, or until plantains are golden brown and very tender. | 5. Once done, set aside to be used later to layer the lasagna. | 6. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. | 7. Heat oil in a large saucepot over a medium high flame. Add onions; sauté until onions are tender. Add pepper and stir for another few minutes until peppers soften. | 8. Add the Soy Chorizo and 1-cup tomato sauce to the mixture and stir well. Reduce heat to a medium flame and simmer covered for another 5-7 minutes. | 9. To assemble Pastelon: In a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan, spread remaining ¼ cup tomato sauce. Then layer with plantains. Spread chorizo mixture on top of plantains. Layer with a handful of cheese. Repeat layers until the last layer is cheese. You will most likely get three layers. | 10. In a separate bowl, thoroughly beat eggs with milk. Pour evenly over the Pastelón. Let sit for a minute allowing the egg mixture to soak inches Top off with just a bit more cheese. | 11. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover and let bake another 7 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
