This is a low fat version of Mexican lasagne with all the flavor of regular!
1 pound extra lean ground beef
1 (15oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 small red onion, diced
1 (4oz) can diced green chiles
1 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning
1 (15 oz) can no salt added tomato sauce
8 flour tortillas (normal small size)
1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 smashed avocados
Preheat oven to 375. Spray 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
If you rinse your canned beans you remove much of the salt content - therefore you can save money by buying the regular canned beans (rather than the low sodium kind that costs more) and simply rinse them before use.
Brown ground beef (if you want small Taco Bell sized ground beef you can add water to the mix while you brown and the beef will end up being smaller than if you brown without water.
Stir in beans, onion and taco seasoning. Cook for about 3 minutes until onion is soft.
Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce on bottom of baking dish and cover with 4 flour tortillas. Spread with half of meat mixture and another 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. Spread with 1/2 of the smashed avocado. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Repeat with tortillas, meat, sauce, avocado and cheese.
Bake until bubbly. Around 15 minutes.
If you want to make your own taco seasoning (to avoid the extra salt):
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
dash ground cayenne
This is quick and healthy. Enjoy!
