Creamy Green Chile Casserole

By Well-Girl on May 23, 2013 in Site Blog with No Comments

Ingredients

4 Brown rice tortillas (to be gluten-free). If you don’t mind gluten, you may use 4 whole wheat tortillas.
1 15 oz can of rinsed and drained black beans
1.25 lbs of lean ground turkey or extra lean ground beef (**already prepared and cooked with diced bell peppers & 1 cup of pico de gallo**)
1 28 oz can of green chile enchilada sauce
1 cup of plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup of low fat cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a 9×9 pan, pour enough enchilada sauce to cover the entire bottom part of the pan.
Next, lay one tortilla down. Spread 1/3 cup of greek yogurt on top of the tortilla. Add 1/3 of the meat mixture on top of the tortilla. Next add about 1/2 cup of your black beans. Pour 1/2 cup of the green chili sauce and sprinkle with 2 tbsp of low fat cheese.
Repeat layers two more times.
After the 3rd layer has been done, complete the casserole with your last tortilla and pour the remaining sauce and cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
