    1. Step 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. Step 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. Step 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. Step 4

      Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional cilantro, sour cream and sliced jalapeños if desired. Enjoy!
