INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 poblano chile, chopped
  • 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 (28 oz) can unsalted tomato puree
  • Spice Mix
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 (10 oz) bag frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 (15 oz) can low sodium black beans
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9″x13″ baking dish.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, add turkey and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, poblano, onion and olive oil and continue to cook until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomato puree, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook, 3-5 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add to turkey-vegetable mixture and continue to cook, about 5 minutes.

Spoon 1/3 of turkey-vegetable mixture evenly onto bottom of baking dish. Layer 6 tortillas over turkey mixture. Spoon another 1/3 of turkey mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle 1/2 of corn, 1/2 of beans and 1/2 of cheese over turkey. Layer remaining 6 tortillas over cheese. Repeat with remaining turkey, corn, beans and cheese. Bake in oven until cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
