Mexican Manicotti
15 minPrep Time
1 hr, 10 Cook Time
1 hr, 25 Total Time
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 (16 ounce) can fat free refried beans (We used green chile and lime)
- 1 (1.5 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
- 1 (16 ounce) package whole wheat Manicotti shells (uncooked)
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle green taco sauce
- 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese
- 3 green onions (diced)
- 1 (6 ounce) can olives (sliced)
- 2 tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Brown ground turkey and drain. Mix cooked ground turkey with beans and taco seasoning.
- Stuff mixture into uncooked shells. I use a plastic baggie with a cut corner. Then squeeze the mixture in both sides of the Manicotti shell. You could also spoon it in on each side with a very small spoon that will fit into the Manicotti shell.
- Lay stuffed shells into a 9 X 13 inch pan.
- Mix the green taco sauce with about 3/4 bottle of water. (Use the bottle the sauce came in.) Pour sauce over Manicotti, cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Put back in oven until cheese is melted without the foil this time.
- Garnish with green onions, olives, tomatoes, and chopped lettuce.
