Turkey Tex Mex Casserole image

This is so full of flavor, easy and quick. Using canned, frozen, dried spices, and leftover foods. Great for pot luck. My aim with this dish besides being tasty and easy was to keep it low in fat and sodium. You can add salt to taste I leave it out with the canned foods having enough sodium for my family. If you're not worried about fat add a layer of shredded jack cheese last 5 minutes just to melt. Any leftover meat can be used.
