Baked Mexicana Delight

It's time for ground turkey!   I tried ground turkey (rather than my usual ground beef) tonight for dinner in this yummilicious Mexicana dish!  It's economical, easy, and delicious... even Ken says so!  Hey... it's even sort of healthy!  It's another keeper in my recipe file!


Here it is...

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 pkg. taco seasoning 
2 cups salsa (I used mild, fresh)
1 16-oz. can black beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 cups Fritos corn chips, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degreees F.

Directions:
Add the 2 T olive oil to large skillet and heat to medium-high heat.  Add onions & ground turkey and cook until onions are caramelized and turkey is browned.  Stir in salsa, black beans, tomatoes, and taco seasoning mix.  Simmer 10-15 minutes until heated thoroughly.

Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.  Crush frito chips and spread 1/2 in bottom of dish.  Spoon turkey mixture over the chips.  Drop ricotta cheese randomly over the turkey, and top with the cheese.

Bake in preheated overn for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
