Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (low-sodium, if preferred)
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned)
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 medium (6-inch) Whole-wheat tortillas, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and stir well to coat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Spread a layer of the tortilla pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, spreading it out evenly. Add another layer of tortilla pieces, then the remaining chicken mixture, and finally, the last of the tortilla pieces on top.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. If desired, top with Greek yogurt and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
