Oh, the people over at the Skinny Ms. Website are pretty brilliant, that's for sure. They are constantly cooking up storms in their shiny bright kitchens, coming up with new recipes to please the hungry � yet calorie-sensitive � crowd. That's us! And we are ever so grateful. So how does it work, this Mexican Style Lasagna? Well, first of all, imagine a lasagna without pasta noodles, without ground beef, without oregano, basil, or b�chamel. Not even cottage cheese! Nope, we've completely deconstructed the traditional Italian lasagna, and now we're going to rebuild it � Mexican style!

Next, imagine layering freshly-made tortillas in the place of pasta noodles and generously topping them with ground turkey or chicken, luscious salsa, and hello � not one or two but three � count 'em THREE - kinds of cheese. With these super-delicious key ingredients, this Mexican lasagna is even ooeier and so much gooeier than the original Italian one � so get ready for a juicy meal chocked full of flavour and spice. Spice? That's right, folks: spice! So if we've taken out the oregano and basil, then what do we replace them with? Well, the warm spices of Tex-Mex cuisine, to start with. Like chili powder and cumin and perhaps even a wee bit of garlic!

And how on this sweet Earth do we keep the calories down with a rich meal like this? Consider the ground turkey for a moment. It is much healthier than ground beef, pork, or veal, has less fat and far fewer calories. It's also much lower in cholesterol! This recipe also calls for low-fat cheese and whole grain tortillas, so your conscience � and waistline � can go free and clear, as long as you eat in moderation. And the peeps at Skinny Ms. will even give you a special, simple, and super-healthy tortilla recipe that you can try along with this one. How wonderful is that? It's always so much better to make your own food rather than break it out of a box. Mexican Style Lasagna? You bet!
