This is a quick and very easy casserole the is loaded with flavor. My best friend Julie gave me the recipe. I like to make it the day before and then heat it up because the flavors seem to get better. You can lower the fat by using baked tortilla chips and low fat cheese if you like. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips |
1 lb shredded cooked chicken (i go the easy route and get a rotisserie chicken from sam's or costco) |
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, drained |
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can corn, drained |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 cup prepared salsa |
1 cup chopped red onion |
1 green pepper, cut into 1/4 in dice |
1/4 cup chopped cilantro |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
salt and pepper |
12 ounces shredded mexican blend cheese |
chopped tomato |
sour cream |
chopped cilantro |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 13 X 9 inch casserole dish, then sprinkle the crushed chips on the bottom.
3. Combine the chicken, beans, corn, tomato sauce, salsa, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic and salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Place half the mixture evenly in the baking dish.
5. Sprinkle half the cheese over the mixture.
6. Cover with the remaining half of the chicken and bean mixture and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
