Tijuana Turkey Torte is made with ground turkey, green chiles, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, zucchini slices, taco seasoning, and cheddar cheese.

You don’t have to wait until Cinco de Mayo to enjoy this delicious Mexican-style dish. Super easy to make, this family favorite is perfect for mid-week meals. Make ahead of time for a quick meal for lunch or dinner.

Tijauna Turkey Torte Recipe tips! Spray 9″ square casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray prior to layering tortillas or grease the dish with a little grape seed oil (my preference).

Easy Recipe Substitutes

  • Prefer beef over turkey? Use 1 pound of lean ground beef or even shredded pork
  • Not a fan of cheddar cheese? Goat cheese or provolone cheese are great options
  • Want more spice? Use a medium or hot salsa
  • Even more spice? Add a 1/4 to 1/2 cup diced jalapeno
  • When serving, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or flat leaf parsley
