Nacho Turkey Casserole

This is a good one to hide lots of veggies. I think I got this one out of a parenting magazine. I have the basic recipe here plus the optional add ins which is a little of my flare in bold.

3 c crushed tortilla chips (real recipe calls for 5 cups)
1 1/4 lb ground turkey (or beef, whichever your family prefers)
1 small onion, chopped
2 (16oz) jars of salsa, I use one and then add a can of chopped tomatoes or fresh tomatoes
10oz of corn
1/2 c sour cream
2 T flour
1 c cheese
1 can black beans
I also add chopped fresh cilantro, green, red or yellow pepper, even spinach!
1 packet of sazon Goya (use this especially if only using 1 jar of salsa)


Cook ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat along with onions, peppers, salt and pepper. 1/2 way through cooking add the packet of sazo, spinach and cilantro, or you can save fresh cilantro for a garnish at the end. Once meat is cooked through, add corn and beans, cook for 2-3 min longer. Remove from heat and add salsa, tomatoes, sour cream and flour.

Add 1/2 crushed tortilla chips to bottom of a greased baking dish. Spoon mix over chips. Bake at 350 for 25 min. Sprinkle with remaining chips and all the cheese. Bake 10 min longer.
