Enchilada Lasagna

Yet another delicious recipe handed down to me from my in-laws. Trust me, you’ll want to make this. Especially if you love Mexican food! It’s also a healthier version as it’s made with lean ground turkey instead of beef. Win, Win!

Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese (we used low fat)
1 tsp. chile powder
1 10 oz. can of enchilada sauce
6 whole-wheat flour tortillas (8 inches)
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Mexican cheese blend
Sour cream + Salsa (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. In a large skillet cook the turkey, onion, and peppers over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in cream cheese + chile powder.
3. Pour enchilada sauce in a shallow bowl. Dip the tortillas in sauce to coat. Place 2 tortillas in a 13 × 9 in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread with half of the turkey mixture. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers. Then top with the two remaining tortillas + cheese.
4. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream + salsa. And a margarita if you want to make it a fiesta. ;)
