Crushed Tortilla Chip Casserole

Makes 8 ServingsCrushed Tortilla Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken
  • 1½ cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • One 15-ounce can refried beans
  • One 15-ounce can all-natural enchilada sauce (we like mild)
  • One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 3 cups coarsely crushed corn tortilla chips, divided (8 ounces)
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to35o°F. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 1 minute.
  2. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up the large pieces, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the corn kernels, refried beans, enchilada sauce, and tomato sauce until well combined (use a whisk or spoon to get all the ingredients well blended).
  4. Spread 1 cup of the crushed tortilla chips in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or dish.  Arrange the meat mixture over the chips. Top evenly with the grated cheese and the remaining crushed chips.
  5. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts and the casserole is heated through, about 15 minutes.
