Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 package taco seasoning*
1 package burrito sized tortillas
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (reduced fat cheddar preferred)
Instructions

1.    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2.    Add oil to a sauté pan over medium-high heat; once warm, add ground turkey. Break up the meat using a spatula, so it cooks evenly; cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add taco seasoning. 
3.    Transfer meat mixture to a plate lined with paper towel.
4.    Line the bottom of the baking dish with tortillas so that the bottom of the pan is covered with no visible gaps. 
5.    Spread thin layer of cooked meat over the top of the tortilla layer. 
6.    Add layer of corn and black beans over the top of the meat. 
7.    Lightly layer cheese over the corn and beans. 
8.    Top with tortillas. 
9.    Repeat steps 4 – 8 for an additional layer. 
10.    Bake at 350o F for 35 – 40 minutes, or until heated. Serve while warm. If additional toppings are desired, add to the top prior to serving. 
Optional toppings: chopped lettuce, diced tomato, sliced olives, sour cream, salsa
