Mmmm Mondays: mexican lasagna

I love Mexican food.  If I was just cooking for myself, I would probably eat it every day!  I have found ways to make it much healthier, thankfully.  This is one of my favorite recipes.  It's a great freezer one too!

Once again, my photo skills aren't perfect.  Our camera broke once again...so we are stuck with phone pics.

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (15.5 oz) can of kidney beans (I have also used black beans), drained and rinsed
• 1 (4 oz) can of green chiles
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (16 oz) bottle of salsa (use up all of the cheap Chi-Chi's salsa!)
• 6 corn tortillas (I like Mission Extra Thin)
• 1 cup light sour cream
• 1 package of Mexican or Co-Jack shredded cheese (2 cups)
• Garnish: olives, picked jalapenos, cilantro or tomatoes...whatever you like!

Let's make some lasagna!

1. Toast tortillas in the oven at 350 for 5-8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, brown turkey with onion. Drain. Add beans, chilies, chili powder, salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
3. Time to assemble! In a 9 x 13" pan, add 1/4 cup salsa. Spread sour cream over tortilla and layer two over the salsa. Next comes 1/3 turkey mixture and top with 1/3 cheese. Repeat layers twice.
4. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
5. Top with desired garnishes.
