SUPER TASTY LITE MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This is one of my most requested "chicken stuff" recipes. I found it in the Cooking Light magazine (around 1998). Most of my friends don't even know that it is a ligher version of a rich calorie laden recipe because it is so tasty. I usually serve with a mixed green salad and my version of Mexican rice. This is great left over cold or hot!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring broth and 1 can of chiles to a boil in a large skillet. Add chicken, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is done turning once. Remove chicken to a plate and reserving cooking liquid for later. Allow chicken to cool and shred meat.
- Saute 1 can of chiles and onion in heated olive oil for 3 minutes or until soft. Add reserved liquid, enchilada sauce, milk, cream cheese, Monterey Jack and stir well. Stir in shredded chicken, cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Coat a 2-quart casserole with cooking spray and place 4 tortillas in the bottom. Spread 2 cups of chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice ending up with the chicken mixture on top. Top with crushed tortillas and cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until throughly heated. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
MEXICAN-STYLE CHICKEN TACO CASSEROLE
All the flavors you love in a chicken taco come together in this handy casserole. Since most tortilla chips are loaded with salt, there is no added salt in this recipe. Serve with your favorite taco toppings on the completed casserole, and a simple salad of lettuce, topped with salsa, on the side.

Steps:
- Combine chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place water and bouillon cube in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir until bouillon cube is dissolved. Cool slightly, add milk, and set aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. When flour and butter are bubbly and thickened, gradually stir in milk-bouillon mixture. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese.
- Combine chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and spice mixture in a bowl; mix well. Pour in cheese sauce and stir again. Pour casserole ingredients into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle crumbled tortilla chips over the casserole, return to the oven, and bake until casserole is bubbly and set, about 10 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle reserved Cheddar cheese and chopped tomatoes evenly on top of the casserole, then add dollops of sour cream.

MEXICAN CHICKEN TACO CASSEROLE
This is flavorful way to deconstruct your tacos and make serving them up a little easier on you! Serve tacos casserole-style, and top them with your favorite toppings - shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc. as desired! Adjust the seasonings to your preference - you can start with less than called for and add more if you're worried it will be too strong of a flavor profile. Add your favorite taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, etc. if desired to serve!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until onion is mostly tender and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add black beans, corn, tomatoes, and tomato sauce; stir until well combined.
- Bring mixture to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Taste mixture and adjust the seasonings as desired.
- Spoon a couple of good-sized scoops of meat mixture onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, and spread into a thin layer. Lay about half of the tortillas over the sauce, breaking them in half as needed to make a fairly even layer without too much overlap. Add remaining meat mixture over the tortilla layer. Top with remaining tortillas, again breaking into pieces as necessary to evenly cover the surface.
- Cover with shredded cheese. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray, and set the sprayed side against the cheese to cover the casserole dish (this helps prevent "cheese loss" when you remove the foil).
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and cheese is nicely melted, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into wedges or scooping out to serve.
