This recipe is perfect for a rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken breast.
Besides the chicken, you only need a few basic ingredients to make this easy dish. It’s perfect for busy weeknights.
How I kept this recipe light:
I only used boneless, skinless chicken breasts since they’re zero points.
Instead of using corn tortillas or regular tortillas, I used Mission Carb Balance tortillas. They are two points each.
Ole Xtreme High Fiber tortillas used to be my favorite because they’re only 1 point. Once I tried the Mission brand I like it more even though it’s higher in points.
Reduced-fat Mexican cheese also helped to lower the points. It tastes like regular Mexican cheese but it’s lower in points.
I used corn and black beans mixed in with the chicken because they are both zero points.
How to make Chicken Tortilla Casserole:
Shred the cooked chicken and add it to a pan. Stir in the taco seasoning and water.
Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Add in the corn and black beans and remove from heat.
Take 4 tortillas and cut them into four pieces each.
Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray. Put one piece of tortilla in each of the corners and then a fifth one in the center.
Spread salsa over the tortillas, then add half of the chicken mixture and 1/2 cup cheese.
Repeat that layer again, tortillas, salsa, chicken mixture and cheese.
For the final layer add another layer of tortillas, top with salsa, then add 1 cup of cheese.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
I added fat-free sour cream and green onions when I served it. You can also add cilantro or any of your favorite toppings.
