Mexican Lasagna : 21 day fix approved

Who doesn't love a good casserole?! 

This dish is full of healthy veggies, carbs and I even have a link to a homemade taco seasoning, link attached below. Better yet one portion includes 1 protein, 1 carb, 1 veggie and 1 healthy fat so it's a complete meal! A necessity for this on the go Mom of 3!



Mexican Lasagna - 21 day fix approved 

1 pound ground turkey or beef 
1 cup water 
Cooking spray 
2 bell peppers chopped 
1 onion chopped 
8 corn tortillas 
1/4 cup corn 
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese 

Optional Toppings: 
Diced tomatoes 
Greek yogurt 
Avocado 

Directions: 
1. Brown ground meat. Add seasoning and 1/2 cup water and simmer for 10 minutes. 
2. While meat simmers add cooking spray to large sauce pan. Add chopped veggies and sauté, approx 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally. 
3. In a 9X13 inch pan spray cooking spray. Slick 6 inch corn tortillas in half. Arrange bottom of pan with 1/2 the shells, so 8 pieces total. 
4. Add cooked meat/seasoning mixture, 1/2 cup black beans, veggies and 1/4 cup cheese. 
5. Add remaining tortillas, meat, beans, veggies. Add corn. Too with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. 
6. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Serve with optional toppings. Enjoy!

**note if you're following the #21dayfix or other color coded Beachbody programs this recipe is 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green and a little less than 1 blue per serving. This leaves you extra room for avocado or guac on top! You're welcome!
