This is one of my most shared recipes! Everyone loves this one, even my Sister-in-law who does not like ground meat. Leftovers are great too. A comfort food for your whole family or next party. Can be made ahead.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey (beef or chicken ok too)
1 (17 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup picante sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (16 ounce) carton low fat cottage cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
12 tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz)
Directions:
1. Brown meat; drain.
2. Add corn, tomato sauce, picante sauce, chili powder and cumin.
3. Simmer, stirring frequently 5 min.
4. Combine cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic salt; mix well.
5. Arrange 6 tortillas on bottom& up sides of lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish, overlapping as necessary.
6. It will come above pan.
7. Top w/1/2 meat mixture.
8. Spoon cheese mixture over mixture over meat.
9. Arrange remaining tortillas over cheese.
10. Top w/remaining meat mixture.
11. You can stop here& refrigerate (Lasagna will be more firm if you do, I recommend at least an hour to overnight).
12. If you don't refrigerate, it will have a more loose form, but still taste wonderful.
13. Bake in preheated oven 375 about 30 minutes or until hot& bubbly.
14. Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese& let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
