MEXICAN FIESTA BAKE



Mexican Fiesta Bake image

This recipe is a favorite of my whole family; even the child who hates meat. I like to experiment with different cheeses or different salsas. I think there are supposed to be 6 servings in this dish but because everyone has seconds it serves 5 with no leftovers. For more servings increase to 1 1/2 lb beef and increase corn bread to 2 boxes and cheese accordingly. Bake in 9x9 or larger casserole dish.

MEXICAN FIESTA CASSEROLE



Mexican Fiesta Casserole image

Provided by Bobby Deen

Categories     turkey     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin     Healthy     Potluck     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped zucchini
1 envelope (1 1/4 ounces) low-sodium taco seasoning
2/3 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups jarred salsa
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup sliced scallions (white and light green parts only)
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream (or use low-fat; optional), for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the onions and zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, 2/3 cup water, and the corn. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes, then stir in the black beans.
  • 3. Spread 1/2 cup of the salsa in the bottom of the baking dish. Lay 4 tortillas over the salsa, and spoon half of the meat mixture on top. Cover with 3/4 cup of the salsa and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Top with 4 more tortillas and the remaining 3/4 cup salsa. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top.
  • 4. Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Slice and serve, topped with scallions and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the batter to help the cornbread brown.
  • Be sure to grease the pan well before baking to prevent the cornbread from sticking.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the cornbread in a preheated oven at a high temperature.
  • For a moist cornbread, bake it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
