Also called Taco Lasagna. This recipe makes two, so you can eat one and put one in the freezer for later. Heats up well and still tastes fresh. I am repeatedly asked for this recipe.

3 lbs. ground turkey or beef (turkey has more protein)
2-3 heaping tsp. minced garlic
2 large cans of diced tomatoes
1 can refried beans (not detected by small children)
2 pkg taco seasoning
1-2 pkg shredded cheddar
2 pkg flour tortillas (whole wheat is preferable)

Sauté garlic in pan with olive oil. Add meat and cook through. Add tomatoes, beans, and taco seasoning. Simmer until well combined. Using a lasagna pan or casserole dish, start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of tortillas, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar. Repeat with more meat, tortillas and cheese until the pan is full. This should make two 9×13 pans. Bake at 350 for about 45 min or until bubbly.

Serve with chips and guacamole or salsa and sour cream.

If you freeze the second lasagna don’t cook it first before freezing. To re-heat, bake at 350 for one hour or until bubbly. Freezing one makes a great gift for someone who needs meals, i.e. a new baby or homebound. Then they can get it from the freezer whenever they need a quick and healthy meal. Yields: 2 lasagnas
