Categories     Meat

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb extra lean ground beef or 1 lb turkey breast
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups low fat cottage cheese
1 cup nonfat sour cream
1 (4 ounce) jar chopped green chili peppers
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups salsa
4 whole wheat tortillas, halved (6 in diameter)
1 1/4 cups reduced-fat monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare a 13" X 9" baking pan by spraying with cooking spray.
  • Spray cooking spray on a large nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Stir in the ground beef or turkey and cook for 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Transfer the ground beef or turkey to a medium bowl. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Spray another coat of cooking spray onto skillet and place over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to pan; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir into the ground beef or turkey in the bowl.
  • Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, peppers, cilantro (if using), cumin, and salt.
  • Layer 1 cup of the salsa across the bottom of the baking dish. Layer half of the tortillas evenly over the salsa. Cover tortillas with half of the cottage cheese mixture. Layer on half of the ground beef or turkey mixture. Top with 1 cup of the remaining salsa and ½ cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Repeat the layering sequence with the remaining tortillas, cottage cheese mixture, and ground beef or turkey mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining salsa and ¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through. If the cheese browns too quickly loosely cover with foil.

Repeat tortillas, sauce and cheeses for a second layer, using the last half of the cottage cheese mixture.Top with a third layer of tortillas and spread over the last third of the sauce.

  • Brown ground meat in large skillet on stove top. Add in remaining "meat mixture" ingredients and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken and the flavors will combine.
  • Now you are ready to assemble: Place just enough of the meat mixture to barely cover the bottom of the greased 8x8 glass pan then top with a tortilla**. Cover that tortilla with some of the meat mixture and repeat until you end up with the meat mixture on the top. Top with cheese and black olives. Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and meat mixture is slightly bubbling around the edges. **I usually cut the tortillas in half or quarters and stack them so they cover the meat mixture evenly.
  • However, if you want to make this dish even more simple and do it like my mama taught me: Place half the meat mixture in the bottom of a 8x8 glass pan. Cover with tortillas. Pour the remaining meat mixture on top of tortillas. Top with cheese and black olives. Bake for 30 minutes and remove from oven when the cheese is melted and meat mixture is slightly bubbling around the edges.
