Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until softened. Add the ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook 5 minutes or until almost cooked through. Add the garlic and taco seasoning and cook 30 seconds more.
2
Add the tomatoes and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the tomato paste, corn and beans and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and add salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste, then stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
3
Grease a 9×13" baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/3 of the turkey mixture over the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with half of the tortillas, then top with another 1/3 of the turkey mixture followed by 3/4 cup of the grated cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, ground turkey mixture and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and heated through.
4
Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional cilantro, sour cream and sliced jalapeños if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Tortillas First 🔥Lightly char each tortilla in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side before layering to prevent sogginess and add a subtle nutty flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Brown the Turkey Properly 🍗Don't stir the ground turkey constantly; let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a flavorful crust before breaking it up, which creates deeper, more complex flavors.
- Reduce Your Sauce 💧After combining tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, and lime juice, simmer for 3-4 minutes to concentrate flavors and reduce excess moisture that could make your casserole watery.
- Layer Strategy Matters 🧀Always end with a tortilla layer on top, then sauce, then cheese—this creates a beautiful golden crust and prevents the top from drying out during baking.
- Fresh Cilantro Timing 🌿Reserve half your cilantro to sprinkle on top after baking rather than mixing it into the filling; this preserves its bright, fresh flavor that gets lost when cooked.
