1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Rotel Mexican Style Diced Tomatoes, Lime Cilantro Green Chili, drained
3/4 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, divided
4 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Stir in spices and tomatoes. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons cilantro.

Place 1 tortilla in a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Layer with half the meat sauce, 1 tortilla, ricotta mixture, another tortilla and remaining meat sauce. Top with remaining tortilla; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining cilantro.

Bake, covered, until heated through, 15-20 minutes.
