Lightly grease a loaf pan, 8½- by 4 ½- by 3-inches, and trim tortillas with scissors into six 5- by 3 ¾-inch rectangles. Cover bottom of loaf pan with 2 tortillas, overlapping them in middle. Spread ¼ cup salsa over tortillas and top with half cheese mixture, half zucchini, half peppers, half corn, and 1 tablespoon coriander. Make another layer of tortillas and vegetables in same manner. Top with remaining 2 tortillas, ½ cup salsa, ¼ cup Monterey Jack, and 1 tablespoon coriander. Cover lasagne with foil and bake in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Let lasagne stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving. Cut lasagne in half and serve with lime. This recipe yields 2 servings.
