Healthy Mexican Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 cup red onion (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp. jalapeño (chopped)
- 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes
- 15 oz. can of kernel corn (drained)
- 15 oz. can of low-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 8 corn tortillas
- 3/4 cup non fat sour cream
- 1/3 cup low fat Mexican cheese blend
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Brown ground turkey and onions in a large skillet for about 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse with warm water to remove all fat. Return to skillet.
- Add corn, black beans, tomatoes, jalapeño and taco seasoning mix to the pan. Mix well. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spray a 12×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cut each tortilla in half, then place 8 halves in the sprayed baking dish, overlapping slightly.
- Spoon half of the turkey mixture evenly over tortillas. Spread sour cream over turkey mixture. Top with remaining 8 tortilla halves and turkey mixture.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 350℉.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, black olives and toppings of your choice.
- TO RE-HEAT: Take casserole out of the oven at least 24 hours prior to cooking and place in the fridge. When you’re ready to pop it in the oven, bake for 25-30 minutes and until cooked through.
