This dish is for my special man. Cliff is a big fan of tacos and lasagna. I'm a fan of casseroles, but not normally lasagna. So, I figured I could make a taco lasagna. It was very reminiscent of my enchilada casserole, but with the creamy sour cream and fresh raw tomatoes and lettuce on top, it feels more like a taco. Although, I guess it's hard to call it a taco if you can't eat it with your hands. At any rate, this was a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground chicken breast
4 LaTortilla Factory Fiber & Flax corn tortillas (I use these because each one is only 45 calories)
2 tomatoes
1 tomatillo
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flake
1 tsp. dried cilantro
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. pimento cheese (or whatever clean eating cheese you like - use something totaling 210 calories)
2 tbsp. hot banana peppers, chopped
2 tbsp. hot banana pepper pickling liquid
Toppings:
1 tomato, diced
1 cup shredded lettuce
4 tbsp. light sour cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Dice 2 tomatoes and the tomatillo and place in a food processor. Add onions, seasonings and garlic. Pulse grind until completely pureed into a salsa.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, brown ground chicken breast. Once browned, add fresh salsa, cheese and banana pepper rings. Add 2 tablespoons of pickling liquid from pepper jar. Stir with spatula to break up any large pieces of chicken and melt cheese.
Cut tortilla in half. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and place 4 tortilla halves at the bottom of the pan. Top with half the beef and sauce mixture. Repeat layers.
Cover casserole dish with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked, serve topped with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce and sour cream.
