Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 can (10-ounce) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)
- 1 can (15-ounce) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 1.5 cups Reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Mix evenly to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from heat.
Place two flour tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to cover the base.
Spread one-third of the turkey mixture evenly over the tortillas, followed by one-third of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process two more times: tortillas, turkey mixture, and cheese. You should end with a cheese layer on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
