CLEAN and Delicious Taco Casserole

I have a confession:
I LOVE Mexican food.  I could probably eat it five times a week.  I love everything about it, and I love ALL of it.
There.  I feel better now.
Unfortunately, not all Mexican food is clean-eating friendly, but if you keep an open mind, there is plenty of it that IS.
When I hear the words TACO CASSEROLE, clean eating is not the first thing that comes to mind.  But it's true!  It's clean, yummy, super-easy, and your kids will eat it.  Trust me on this one; if my husband will eat it, your kids will eat it.

Look at the ingredients for the Tostito's; I LOVE that it is a very short and easily understandable list!

This has become a go-to standard weeknight meal in our household.  It makes plenty, and I almost always take some for lunch; it reheats well, and you can even layer up a casserole and freeze it to bake later or to take as a dish to someone who needs a helping hand, like a new mother or someone who has recently lost a family member. You don't have to tell them it's clean; it just tastes like comfort food.

Look, just don't tell the family that it is Greek yogurt.  I promise, no one will know.  It seriously tastes JUST like sour cream, and it has a kick of extra protein.

You will need:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 small onion, diced
1 taco seasoning packet (read the labels; I like Trader Joe's or McCormick's)
8 oz jar of taco sauce (again, read the labels.  Surprisingly, the Schnuck's brand is clean)
1 tomato, diced (optional)
chopped lettuce (optional)
1 c. plain Greek yogurt
8 oz clean cheddar cheese, shredded
3 cups Baked Tostito's Scoops, broken into large pieces

Instructions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350°.
2.  Brown turkey and onion in a skillet over medium heat.  Drain off the liquid.
3.  Add 1/4 c. of water and taco seasoning.  Cook until water cooks off.
4.  Add entire jar of taco sauce and simmer until warm.
5.  In a 8 X 8 baking dish, layer:
          -1/2 of crunched up chips
          -meat mixture
          -thin layer of Greek yogurt
          -1/2 of cheddar cheese

Do that twice.
6.  Heat in oven for 15 minutes.
7.  Top with lettuce, tomato, or anything else clean that you like on your Mexican food!
I usually serve this with a salad or green beans.  So good!

BE FIERCE!
