Categories     brunch     dinner     Main Course     main dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (1/8 tsp if you don't like it too spicy)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon coriander
1 15 ounce can organic black beans (rinsed thoroughly and drained)
1 15 ounce can organic pinto beans (rinsed thoroughly and drained)
4-5 plum tomatoes (chopped and seeds removed)
1 teaspoon chopped chili peppers (add more or like to your taste)
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup reduced fat mexican blend cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put ground turkey in large sauce pan with oil and cook until no longer pink.
  • Add cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, coriander and a little water until seasoned. Add pinto & black beans, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced chilis, corn and mix it all together in sauce pan.
  • Place in a 9 x 13 casserole dish and add 1/4 cup of reduced fat mexican cheese blend on top. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • For my kids, I crumble whole grain tortillas on top.
  • I like diced cilantro sprinkled on top. This is great the next for leftovers in a wrap too. ENJOY!

MEXICAN CASSEROLE



Mexican Casserole image

Ultimate Mexican casserole with refried beans, rice, ground beef and veggies, layered and baked to cheesy perfection! A healthy family favorite!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa or other grain of choice-about 2/3 cup uncooked)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 pound lean ground beef (or swap ground chicken or ground turkey)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves minced garlic (about 2 teaspoons)
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 can reduced fat refried black beans (15 ounces)
3/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
3/4 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese (divided)
1 10-ounce tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel)
Fresh cilantro (for serving)
Chopped green onions (for serving)

Steps:

  • Be sure to cook your rice if you haven't already (if you are just reading this and just now realized you don't have any cooked rice and don't want to wait, consider switching to quinoa, which cooks much more quickly than brown rice. Instant brown rice also works in a pinch).
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large casserole dish (9x13 inch or similar) with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to sauté until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 additional minute.
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in the rice and Greek yogurt until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  • Assemble the casserole: Spread the beans into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over the beans.
  • Scatter the tomatoes with green chilis over the top.
  • Spoon the rice and ground beef mixture on top of the tomatoes, spreading it into an even layer.
  • Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and 1/2 cupmozzarella.
  • Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the oven to broil, then continue cooking until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 to 4 additional minutes, watching carefully so that the cheese does not burn.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions, and serve.
