Mexican food is my weakness.  Anything with cheese, beans, Mexican spices and heat is my go to meal.  Mexican Lasagna is my way to use up tortillas and create a great meal … snack… lunch…

Step 1:

Prepare ground turkey by cooking until no longer pink and add the taco seasoning according to package directions.  I use the low sodium version.

Step 2:

Prepare refried beans per the can instructions.

Step 3:

Layer white corn tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish.  I use an oval dish – but a square 8×8 or 9×9 pan can be used too.

Spread a layer of refried beans over the tortillas.

Sprinkle a layer of the taco seasoned ground turkey

Add a layer of cheese and a drizzle of salsa.  I like to use the green salsa verde, but use your favorite salsa or taco sauce.

Repeat three more times.  When complete, heat in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes; or until the cheese has melted and the dish is bubbly.

I serve with fresh tomatoes, avocado and a little more salsa.

1 package taco seasoning

1 can refried beans – your choice; I like spicy
