1 pound extra lean ground beef or turkey breast 1/2 large onion, chopped 1 large clove garlic, minced 1-1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup fat-free sour cream 1 jar (4 ounces) chopped green chile peppers 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional) 2 tsp. ground cumin 1/8 tsp. salt 2-1/2 cups of good salsa 4 whole wheat tortillas (6" diameter), halved 1-1/4 cup (5 ounces) shredded, reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese |

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Coat a 13" X 9" baking dish with cooking spray. 3. Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook, turning several times, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. 4. Remove the ground beef or turkey to a medium bowl. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel. Coat the skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add to the ground beef or turkey in the bowl. 5. In another medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, peppers, cilantro, cumin, and salt. 6. Spread 1 cup of the salsa across the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange half of the tortillas evenly over the salsa. Spread half of the cheese over the tortillas. Top with half of the ground meat mixture. Top with 1 cup of the remaining salsa and 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat the layering sequence with the remaining tortillas, cheese and ground meat mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining salsa and 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. 7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through. Loosely cover with foil if the cheese browns too quickly. |
