Tortilla Pie

preheat oven to 375°

– Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

– Add chopped onion and saute until translucent (about 5 minutes)

– mix all spices in a small bowl (this step is not required, I just like mixing them before hand for even distribution in cooking)

– Add ground turkey to cooked onions and add spice mixture.

– Break up ground turkey and cook completely until browned.

– Taste mixture and add salt/pepper as needed.

– Add black beans and rice to ground turkey and mix well.

– Using a pie pan, put a layer of salsa on the bottom (about 1/4 cup.)

– place a tortilla over the salsa.

– sprinkle cheese over tortilla.

– spoon meat/bean/rice mixture over cheese layer.

– repeat layers once more starting with salsa and then end with a tortilla and remaining cheese on top.

– Place in the oven for 12 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.

– Place under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes to make the tortilla and cheese a little crispy on top.

– Finish off with chopped green onion.

– Slice and serve with sour cream and extra salsa and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
