Enchilada Pie
Adapted from: Taste of Home Healthy Cooking, Dec/Jan 2011 pg 42
1 pound ground turkey/beef -- pre-cooked with taco seasoning
1/2 of a small onion, diced
1 can (15oz) kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed & drained
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 t chili powder
1/2 t cumin
1/4 t pepper
1/8 t salt
12 corn tortillas (most small pkg have 10 in them)
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Pre-heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick spray.
In large skillet put taco seasoned meat and onion. Let cook for 5-7 mins (if meat is cold make sure it is warmed through). Add in drained beans, diced tomatoes/chilies, spices and water. Bring to a boil, once it reaches a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 10-12 minutes.

Place 6 corn tortillas in dish, layer 1/2 of meat mixture on top and then 1/2 of cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas, meat mixture and cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes until it is heated all the way through and cheese is melted.



***Time Saving Tip***
Prepare meat mixture ahead of time and just layer with tortillas & cheese or have fully ready to go in the oven, store in fridge until you get home and just pop in the oven.
Pair with rice or chips and queso/quacamole.
