FC Day 28 – Enchilada Lasagna

May 14, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Enchilada Lasagna (2)

I am not a huge fan of standard lasagna because I don’t care much for marinara sauce, and I don’t cook regular enchiladas very often. Not because I don’t like them, but nobody makes them like my mama does. I will fix Chicken Enchiladas from time to time, and I’ve got my eye on a few other chicken enchilada variations, but never cheese (K’s favorite) or beef (like my mama makes). Too scary for me still.  But this recipe for Enchilada Lasagna that I found in the Men’s Health Abs Guide 2008 (no scoffing, I don’t keep a collection of men’s health books around for myself or anything!) is pretty amazing. And healthy to boot! K loves it; it is one of his favorite meals.

I actually had it on the schedule to make for T for my latest Care Calendar date, but she went out of town on my scheduled day, and I figured K might smother me in my sleep if I didn’t make it for him anyway. Not really, but he does like it almost that much!  It makes just enough for us to each have a big serving for dinner, and to take leftovers for lunch the next day. This time we had a friend over for dinner, but there was enough left over for him to have for lunch. Don’t worry about me though; I made Garlic, Ginger & Scallion Shrimp for myself to have for lunch.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 1 ½ cups reduced-fat Mexican-blend or Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup canned, diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup canned jalapeno peppers, diced
  • ½ cup scallions, chopped
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 9 – 6” corn tortillas
  • 1 cup taco sauce
Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Brown the turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the turkey cool and them mix with 1 cup of the cheese, tomatoes, cottage cheese, peppers, scallions, chili powder & garlic, stirring well.
  3. Coat 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place 3 tortillas in the bottom of the dish and top with half of the turkey mixture. Layer 3 more tortillas, the remaining turkey mixture and the last 3 tortillas. Pour taco sauce over the last layer of tortillas and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 4 servings @ 437 calories per serving. Not too shabby!! We had ours with a side salad to complete the meal.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
