Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put turkey in large sauce pan with oil and cook until no longer pink.
Add cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, coriander and a little water until seasoned. Add pinto & black beans, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced chilis, corn and mix it all together in sauce pan.
Place in a 9 x 13 casserole dish and add ¼ cup of reduced fat mexican cheese blend on top. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
For my kids, I crumble whole grain tortillas on top.
I like diced cilantro sprinkled on top. This is great the next for leftovers in a wrap too. ENJOY!
