This dinner was a total success! I doubled the recipe and tweaked it a bit. Here's how I ended up using it...
One 9 x 9 dish went with me to a friends house and all 4 of us ate it almost licking the dish! (4 servings)
One 9 x 13 dish stayed at home for mike & the kids to eat. We all had another serving the next day for lunch & I had the last serving the third day for lunch. (10 servings!)
One Medium size plastic container to give to my sweet Friends who have a new baby. (2 servings)
It made 16 servings total and took about 20 min to prepare. The original recipe is from Taste of Home Magazine (which I love) but it was an enchilada which I think takes WAY too much time to make. So I turned it into a layered casserole.
Recipe:
(my adaptations will be in paranthasis)
1 1/4 pound ground turkey
1 small onion chopped
1 tsp. taco seasoning
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pkg. 8oz reduced fat cream cheese (cut into cubes)
1 cup (4oz) shredded mexican cheese
1 can 15oz black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 can 14.5oz fire roasted diced tomatoes drained
2 cans 4oz each chopped green chilies (I used one can for a double batch but you can use more if you like heat)
1/4 cup salsa (I used mild)
14 whole wheat tortillas (8 inch)
1 can 10oz enchilada sauce
toppings:
Tortilla chips
Greek Yogurt (or sour cream)
Chopped cilantro
lettuce
tomatoes
Preheat oven to 375
Step 1.
Cook turkey, onion and seasonings over medium heat until cooked. Stir in cream cheese and 1/2 cup cheese until metled. Stir in beans, corn, tomatoes, chilies and salsa.
Step 2.
Chop tortillas into strips (this makes it much easier to serve). Spray 9 x 13 pan with oil (PAM) and layer: Tortillas, meat mixture, enchilada sauce, cheese. Repeat until pan is full
At this point you can cool this off, cover and freeze OR cook in oven for 15-20 min until heated through. (super yummy to put under broiler for 2-3 min to brown cheese)
Add toppings and enjoy.
Should serve 10 people. Packed with fiber and protein.
