Ingredients

• 450 grams extra-lean ground turkey (or chicken)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (about 400 grams) canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 4 medium-sized low-carb whole wheat tortillas
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies, including the juices from the can. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors combine, then remove the mixture from heat.

Step 5

Cut the tortillas into quarters to make layering easier.

Step 6

In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture across the bottom. Arrange a layer of tortilla pieces on top (it’s fine if they overlap slightly).

Step 7

Repeat the layering process: turkey mixture, tortilla pieces, and a small sprinkle of cheese. Continue for 3 layers, ending with the cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 9

Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
