    I didn’t really follow a recipe, I mostly just tossed in whatever veggies needed to be used up and sounded like they’d be good :).

    Made 6 sizable servings so I’m hoping this freezes ok…

    Filling:

    * Turkey taco meat w/ black beans (this was pre-made [1lb ground turkey + 1 can drained black beans + taco seasoning] and frozen in 6 individual servings – I used 2 for the filling) = 466 cal.
    * Frozen corn, defrosted (50g) = 41 cal.
    * Raw jalapeño pepper, diced (18g) = 5 cal.
    * White onion, diced (86g) = 34 cal.
    * Zucchini, diced (82g) = 14 cal.
    * Fresh baby spinach (80g) = 18 cal.
    * Frozen Mexican-style riced cauliflower (100g) = 46 cal.
    * Baked sweet potato (150g) = 135 cal.
    * Crumbled goat cheese (50g) = 125 cal.

    Casserole:

    * Enchilada sauce (8oz) = 113 cal.
    * 5 Mission Carb Balance tortillas = 350 cal.
    * 2% shredded cheddar cheese (84g) = 270 cal.

    I sauteed the onion, zucchini, and spinach first and then combined all the filling ingredients with a little bit less than half of the enchilada sauce. In a casserole dish I layered a light coating of enchilada sauce > half the tortillas > filling > remaining tortillas > remaining enchilada sauce > shredded cheese.

    Baked at 375F – covered with foil for 20 minutes and then an additional 10 minutes without foil. Let rest 5-10 minutes before cutting into 6 portions.

    Served mine with a couple of avocado slices (35 cal.), nonfat plain Greek yogurt (10 cal.) instead of sour cream, and the last decent-looking sprig of my fresh cilantro.
