How to Make Yummy Mexican Lasagna W A Healthier Kick

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and sauté for another 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup taco sauce, 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 1/2 cup sliced black olives, and 1 (15 ounce) can no-fat refried beans. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.
  3. In a 3-quart casserole dish, spread a thin layer of the meat mixture at the bottom. Place 2 large flour tortillas (overlapping) on top.
  4. Repeat layers: meat mixture, 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, 2 tortillas. Continue until all tortillas are used, ending with a layer of meat mixture topped generously with cheese.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
