  • 1 pound Ground turkey Can substitute with lean ground beef or ground chicken.
  • 1 small Yellow onion Peeled and diced.
  • 1 ounce Taco seasoning 1 packet.

Tortillas and Beans

  • 8 pieces Corn tortillas Cut in half.
  • 15 ounces Canned pinto beans Drained and rinsed.

Salsa and Cheese

  • 2 cups Salsa
  • 10 ounces Frozen corn Thawed.
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese Shredded.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients. Gather all your ingredients and prepare your workspace.
  • Step 2: Cook the Turkey and Onion. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey and diced onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is browned and the onion is translucent.
  • Step 3: Add the Taco Seasoning. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and onion mixture. Stir well to combine and allow it to cook for another minute or two.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Casserole. In a large casserole dish, layer the ingredients starting with corn tortillas, then half of the meat mixture, half of the pinto beans, half of the salsa, half of the corn, and half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers and finish with cheese on top.
  • Step 5: Bake It. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with toppings like sour cream or fresh cilantro.
