Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground skinless turkey breast
  • 1-14.5 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 heaping cup fat-free refried beans
  • 1 4 ounce can chopped green chiles, rinsed and drained
  • 10-6 inch corn tortillas, halved
  • ⅔ cup salsa
  • ½ cup reduced-fat freshly grated/shredded Monterey Jack (or sharp cheddar) cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the oil. Ad the pepper and onion; cook, stirring as needed until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the turkey and cook, stirring as needed until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and chiles, bring to a boil. (NOTE: If mixture is too thick, add ½ cup plain tomato sauce). Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture is slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  3. On the bottom of a 10x6 baking pan (I used a 9x13 for a smaller, thicker casserole), spoon half of salsa and top with four tortillas. Cover tortillas with a layer of re-fried beans, a layer of turkey mixture and a layer of salsa. Repeat the layering once more, finishing with the final two tortillas. Sprinkle top evenly with the cheese.
  4. Bake covered for approximately 20 minutes or until heated through. Remove cove r and bake an additional ten minutes, or until cheese has turned golden.
