Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey or lean beef
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tortillas large, flour or corn will work
  • 1 tomato medium-size, diced
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce ribbon-sliced
  • 1 cup vegetarian refried beans from a can or canned regular pinto beans, drained and rinsed, and pureed in blender with 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese reduced-fat, shredded or monterey jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, brown turkey over medium-low heat in a skillet with 2 tablespoons water, chili powder, salt, and cumin, for about 10 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Place one tortilla on baking sheet. Spread with 1/3 cup of the beans, top with an even layer of 1/2 cup cheddar, top with 1/3 of the meat, and top with another tortilla. Repeat with another layer. Do not top the third layer with an additional tortilla. Instead, place shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes on top of the third layer.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden at the edges. Cut into 4 slices to serve. This can be eaten as is or topped with nonfat Greek yogurt and salsa to serve if desired.
