My invites to tailgate parties usually come with a condition. I absolutely have to show up with this casserole in hand. Since I can whip it up in about twenty minutes flat using only a skillet and a baking dish, this is one condition I'm only too happy to comply with. Most of the time I make it with lean ground turkey. But you can also swap out the turkey and use lean ground beef. This cheesy baked casserole is packed with Mexican flavor, from the spice of the taco seasoning and tomato salsa right on down to the creamy black beans and sweet corn tortillas. It's seriously tasty, seriously easy, and seriously, it's good for you.
This is one of those dishes where you can sneak in your greens, making it great for kids. The zucchini in this casserole takes on all the great Mexican flavors so kids won't even know they're eating something that's good for them. I like to experiment with other vegetables too. Yellow squash, peas, and cut green beans are equally tasty in place of zucchini.
