8 of 52: Mushroom, Turkey and Black Bean Tortilla Casserole

Whew, I feel like it's been a while.  Finally I have some time to mix up some new meals.. Tonight, Will requested something hearty and quick so I decided on Mushroom, Turkey and Black Bean Tortilla Casserole.  If you click the link, you will see that I made quite a few changes to this typically vegetarian dish.  

Ingredients:

Olive Oil

Carton of portobello mushrooms
Garlic
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can black beans
6 flour tortillas
1 lb ground turkey breast
Salsa
2 cups of sharp cheddar
S&P


The How To:
Preheat oven to 400.
Pull out two large skillets -- 
In one, brown the turkey.  
In the other, heat a little olive oil over medium-high and add mushrooms.  Cook, stirring often until they are browned (7ish minutes).  Add garlic, cayenne, S&P, and black beans.  Cook until warmed through (5ish minutes).  
Remove from heat and combine the turkey and the black bean/mushroom mixture.

Grab a large baking dish.  Arrange the tortillas in halves in the bottom of the dish.  Top with the mixture, salsa, and then sprinkle on some cheese.  

Cover with foil and bake until the center is hot and cheese melts (about 15 minutes).  Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbling (about 5 minutes).  

Try to do a better job at your presentation than I did.  Enjoy!

We added a little sour cream and it was really good.  If I made this dish again, I would probably add some diced green chilis to the mixture.  This dish has been Will approved.
