Mexican Casserole

My roommate and I have a slight Costco addiction. The issue here is that the produce must be consumed ASAP before everything spoils.  Trudy purchased about a dozen avocados the other day and we needed to eat them, so I decided to try out this mexican casserole. With a few minor substations I was able to make this a slight bit healthier than the average mexican casserole. 

You will need:

1 lb ground turkey

1 jar of salsa

1 can of refried black beans

1 packet of reduced sodium taco seasoning

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 green pepper, chopped

multigrain tortilla chips, smashed up

1 can of diced tomatoes

spinach leaves, chopped

1 small can of sliced black olives

mexican cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large frying pan, cook the ground turkey and drain whatever little fat remains. Mix in refried beans, taco seasoning, and salsa.  In an ungreased casserole dish, layer tortilla chips and top with meat mixture. Layer on top of this the green pepper, black olives and half of the tomatoes. Then top with cheese.  Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted. Take out of the oven and top with spinach leaves, more tomatoes, and avocado. Enjoy!!

**We used the left overs the next day to make nachos! Joe said they were the best he's ever had. The secret definitely is mixing the beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. mmmm mmm!!
