A great make ahead that you can toss in the freezer and thaw when you are ready.

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 45 mins

Total Time: 60 mins

Ingredients

4 tbsp taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups fat free refried beans
1 1/4 cups diced tomatoes and green chilies
9 oz baked tortilla chips
1 3/4 cups fat free cheddar cheese
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 small head lettuce
1 medium onion
1 large whole tomato

Instructions

1. Brown the turkey and onions in a non-stick pan.

2. When the turkey is opaque, add the taco seasoning and a little bit of water to help distribute the seasoning.

3. Stir in the refried beans and the canned tomatoes.

4. Spray a 9x13" glass baking dish with non-stick spray, and line the bottom of the dish with crushed tortilla chips.

5. Spread the turkey mixture on top of the chips, then top with 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat this layering with the other half of the turkey mixture and the cheese.

6. Bake in a 375 °F (190 °C) oven for about 25 minutes until the cheese is all melted.

7. Serve on top of shredded lettuce with tomatoes and possibly fat free sour cream.

8. Note: once cooled down to room temperature, you can put it in a ziploc freezer bag and into the freezer.
