| Chilaquiles
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 red onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, not drained
1 (15-ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles, not drained
Salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded low-fat Cheddar
1 pint light cream cheese
8 (6-inch) La Primera or Mi Ranchito corn tortillas
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon
canola oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Add the ground turkey to the
hot oil and brown, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain meat into a colander
and reserve. To the same skillet which has a little residual fat from
cooking the turkey, add the onions and cook over medium heat until soft;
then add the garlic and cook until soft. Stir in the chili powder and
cumin. Add the chiles and their juices and the tomatoes and their juices.
Add the meat back to the pan and stir until combined. Reduce heat to low
and simmer for 20 minutes or until thick. Season with salt, to taste,
and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine Cheddar and cream cheese; set aside. Line a
casserole dish with half the tortillas and ladle half of the meat mixture
over. Cover with half of the cheese mixture. Top with half of the green
onions. Repeat layers 1 more time. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
