Tuesday's Dinner

I was watching Rachel Ray (yesterday? last week? I can't remember when). She had a little boy on the show helping her make what she was calling Taco Lasagna. It sounded and looked so good that I took a mental inventory of our pantry to see if we had all the ingredients. We had everything but one item, so I picked it up (on the way to mom's group this morning - combining errands in a single trip to save gas!).

I tried to find the recipe on the internet this evening, but all I could find was a recipe for her Mexican Lasagna. The ingredients are a little different, but the general idea is the same.

I used ground turkey, minced dried onion, a can of organic pinto beans, a half can of organic corn, and I grated into the meat one organic green squash and one organic carrot (she did this on the show). I also used a packet of taco seasoning instead of the individual seasonings and I mixed in some enchilada sauce. I also used a mixture of Monterrey Jack and cheddar cheeses. It turned out very good! Very yummy and VERY easy!



Ideally, I would use organic meat or ground wild turkey, but I have yet to find either of these for an affordable price. Next time I will use organic whole wheat flour tortillas and organic cheese - I believe they sell both of these at Trader Joe's. It would also be great with some toppings - black olives, avocado, a little lettuce, perhaps some organic sour cream.
