Mexican Lasagna

1 T. vegetable oil
1 lb. ground turkey
1 c. chopped onion
1 1/2 c. chopped green and/or red bell peppers
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilis
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
2 c. smooth taco sauce, divided
8 soft taco size flour tortillas, divided
2 c. mexican blend shredded cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 13 x 9 baking dish.
Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey or chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are slightly tender.
Spread 1/2 c. taco sauce over bottom of prepared baking dish. Cover with 4 tortillas. Spread with half of meat mixture and 1/2 c. taco sauce. Sprinkle with 1 c. cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

I have to confess to leaving out the peppers and onion when I made this today. I forgot to get them at the store, and wasn't about to go back! Sorry, but I think it still turned out ok. Just not quite as healthy!

Delicious, we all really enjoyed the Mexican twist! The tortilla part was a fun surprise. It was gone. (we usually have some leftovers)
