A spicy Mexican casserole that has been a favorite for years!
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large skillet, saute onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and jalepeno in olive oil. Cook for a few minutes (3 or 4), then add in ground turkey. Brown turkey, abut 8 minutes.
Once turkey is browned, add in beans, Roma tomatoes, ranch seasoning, spices, and salt and pepper. Let simmer.
While meat mixture is simmering, line a glass pyrex with half of the tortilla strips. I use a 9×13 dish. Once meat is done simmering, pour half of the mixture on top. Sprinkle and cover with half of the cheese. Arrange the remaining tortilla strips on top of cheese. Pour additional meat mixture on top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese to cover. Pour Rotel tomatoes over top.
Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, uncovered.

This was a fantastic dish! I used 2 lbs. of ground beef instead of the turkey, and used 2 packets of ranch dressing mix and added 1 more can of Rotel into the beef to balance it. It was so tasty, and very easy to make. The blend of fresh veggies was wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
