I love Mexican food and quite honestly could eat it everyday! However, it is usually very high in calories and eating it often does not help my fight against extra pounds. So, I tried several recipes and tweaked them to satisfy, not on my tastebuds, but also my desire to keep it simple, easy and healthy. Here is the finally product and it is a crowd pleaser! This makes an appearance on our family menu at least twice a month....
MEXICAN LASAGNA (21 Day Fix approved)
1lb Ground Turkey
1 Jar Organic Salsa (we use Hot)
1 1/2 cups Fat Free Refried Beans (2 red containers)
12 Corn Tortillas
1 1/2 cups Colby Jack Cheese (6 blue containers)
Brown and drain turkey. Add the jar of organic salsa to meat and simmer on low until heated through. In a greased 13x9 pan layer 6 corn tortillas on the bottom. Spread 1 red container or 3/4 cup of beans over tortillas. Then layer with 1/2 the meat mixture. Layer remaining 6 tortillas on top and repeat with beans and meat. Then top with 6 blue containers or 1 1/2 cups of cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Serves 6 and is 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow and 1 blue
