Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 1/2 pounds ground turkey or ground sirloin
- 1 zucchini
- 2 carrots, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 tablespoons chili powder, 3 palm fulls
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 2/3 palm full
- 1 tablespoon coriander, a palm full
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup beef stock
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded Chihuahua cheese or Monterey Jack
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped
- 3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 cups prepared cheesecake filling (recommended: Philly brand)
- 2 very ripe bananas with spotty skins
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 individual graham cracker crusts
- Whipped cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a large high sided skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the meat and brown, 5 minutes. While meat browns, grate the zucchini and carrots with a box grater. Add the vegetables to the meat and grate in the onion and garlic. Season the meat with chili, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more to soften vegetables. Stir in beef stock. Grease a 8 by 13-inch baking pan with vegetable oil. Layer in 3 overlapping flour tortillas and top with 1/3 meat, 1/3 cheese. Repeat the layers twice and bake 10 to 12 minutes to brown cheese. Top with scallions, lettuce and tomatoes, cut into squares and serve.
While Tacosagna cooks, make dessert. Place cheesecake filling in bowl and mash in 2 really ripe bananas, season with cinnamon and stir in honey. Fill the crust tins and when you are ready to serve top with a swirl of whipped cream.

My son actually gags and gets sick when I try to force him to eat veggies. He happily ate this dish up and had NO IDEA he was eating a couple of veggies. I watched him take each bite just thrilling inside. This recipe will be a keeper for my family for sure.

Yummy! Used the enchilada sauce as another reviewer suggested. It was so moist and tasty. If you are going to serve this to kids though, I would cut down on the chili powder. I also added some taco seasoning and more salt after tasting the meat mixture. Even better the next day!
