Turkey and Bean Enchilada Casserole

Ground turkey is the best substitute for lean ground beef. We have been using it for everything! You can get the health equivalent by simply purchasing extremely lean ground beef, but I think the turkey is a little bit cheaper, and tastes just the same!  For a delicious dinner a we made Enchilada Casserole. It's protein packed and super easy to make.




You will need:
1 lb ground beef
1 can pinto beans, drained
Shredded Mexican Cheese
about 6 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons of flour
Garlic powder
1 small tub of Sour cream
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can green chilies
Taco seasoning

Preheat oven to 350. Brown the turkey and drain. Mix in your desired amount of taco seasoning, beans, and green chili peppers. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, flour and garlic powder. Place a few corn tortillas in one layer on the bottom of a greased casserole dish. Top with the meat and bean mixture, and then spread sour cream. Repeat layers again starting with the corn tortillas. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and top with cheese, bake for an additional 10 minutes of until cheese is melted.

**Serve with Saffron rice. Tastes just as soon left over!!
