ingredients
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 can (15 ounce size) refried beans (optional)
12 ounces shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
6 large corn or flour tortillas
1 large tomato, diced
2 cups finely shredded lettuce
1 can sliced black olives
salsa (optional)
jalapenos (optional)
sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Brown meat and onions together in medium skillet. Drain fat. Add taco mix, following directions on package.
While the meat simmers, spray a 9x9" casserole with non-stick spray. Place one layer of tortillas flat on the bottom of the casserole. You may have to cut them in half to make them fit in evenly, some overlapping is all right.
Spoon half the refried beans onto the layer of tortillas, and use a rubber spatula to spread evenly. Spoon half of the meat mixture evenly over the beans. Sprinkle with cheese.
Add another layer of tortillas, then beans, then meat, adding much more cheese this time.
Bake this at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and just barely browning.
Top the casserole with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, black olives, jalapenos, guacamole, and so on. Enjoy!

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

THANKS. This is the tortilla layered mexican lasagna recipe I've been googling all day for. Most call for noodles. I'm definitely gonna try this one.
