Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat in a large pan (I like to use a 9" oven-safe skillet so I use only one pan for the entire recipe!). Once shimmering, add red bell pepper (1 chopped), red onion (1 chopped), salt (2 teaspoons), and pepper (1 teaspoon). Saute until softened.
- Add the chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 tablespoon), and dried oregano (2 teaspoons), and toast until fragrant - about 2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and add sour cream (1/2 cup), salsa (1 cup), and 1 Lb cooked/shredded chicken breast (1 Lb). Stir to combine.
- If you aren't using an oven-safe pan, transfer ingredients to an 8x8 casserole dish.
- Pour heavy cream (1/4 cup) evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese (1 cup).
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until casserole is warmed all the way through and the cheese has lightly browned. Top with cilantro and enjoy!

LOW CARB MEXICAN CASSEROLE
If you're a fan of Mexican food but watching carbs or calories, you'll love this Low Carb Mexican Casserole. The casserole is also low in fat, with just 4 WW freestyle points per serving! You can reduce the points even more by using low fat cheddar, but I think the good stuff is worth a couple extra points. Used with permission from Genius Kitchen.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease an 8" x 8" baking dish or similar size casserole with butter or coconut oil.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and break up into small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat has browned. Drain if necessary. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned meat and stir in.
- Very lightly saute the cauliflower in a non-stick pan. This will help release any water so it doesn't make the sauce watery. Spread two cups of the riced cauliflower in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the spiced meat over the riced cauliflower.
- Top the meat with 1 ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) of the cheddar cheese.
- Layer the last two cups of cauliflower over the cheddar cheese.
- Spread the rest of the spiced meat over the cauliflower. Set aside.
- Pour the cream into a 1 1/2 quart heavy saucepan. Add 4 ounces (about 1 cup packed) of the grated cheese (this leaves one ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) for later). Put saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Heat cream and cheese, stirring frequently, until cheese has melted. Stir in the salsa. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer gently until mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon.
- Taste sauce and add sea salt and black pepper if desired. Pour sauce over the contents of the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining ounce of cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese has melted and contents are bubbly in the center.
- Sprinkle green onion on top to garnish.
