Mexican Lasagna

We made our FAVORITE 21 Day Fix approved dinner tonight! My husband and daughter love this! It's great because it's quick, easy, and healthy! And the best part... it tastes so yummy! It's a great meal on a budget too because we will have leftovers for the next day. Let me know if you try this and what you and your family think of it. 

Mexican Lasagna
Ingredients
1 Red and Orange Bell Pepper
1 Medium Onion
1 lb Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Southwest Seasoning (recipe from 21 Day Fix book)
1/4 cup chopped Cilantro (optional)
Shredded Cheese – about 1 1/2 cups
Fat Free Refried Beans – 1 can
2 Small Cans Diced Chiles
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
12 Corn Tortillas
Directions
Dice peppers and onion. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add diced peppers and onions and cook until tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Brown your ground turkey in the skillet until almost done. Add chiles to meat and finish cooking through. Add cooked onions and peppers to meat mixture, along with southwest seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add Cilantro if using to mixture. 
Spray the bottom of a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with 6 tortillas. Spread with one red container of the refried beans. Spread 1/2 of the meat and vegetable mixture over the tortillas and beans.
Layer the remaining 6 tortillas on top of the meat mixture. Repeat spreading the refried beans and remaining meat and vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is hot and bubbly. Can serve with Plain Greek Yogurt to substitute sour cream. ENJOY!!! smile emoticon
