1

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Place taco shells standing up and together in baking dish; set aside.
2

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey and onion; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until turkey is thoroughly cooked. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat.
3

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mash beans with potato masher; stir in green chiles.
4

To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons bean mixture in bottom of each shell. Sprinkle each with 1 heaping tablespoon of the cheese and a heaping 1/4 cup turkey mixture. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with remaining ingredients.

Expert Tips

No potato masher? Use a wooden spatula or the bottom of a plastic cup to mash the beans.
Don’t keep chicken taco seasoning mix on hand? No problem! This recipe also works well with Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix.
