The best flavors from Mexico combine into this better-for-you baked casserole.

Ingredients Needed:

• 2 ounces Tortilla Chips (about 24), plus additional for serving

• 1 Tbs Chili Oil (or olive oil and red pepper flakes)

• 1 Onion, chopped

• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1 pound Ground Chicken

• 2 Tbs Taco Seasoning

• 1 can Black Beans, drained

• 1 cup Hot Salsa

• 1 cup shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese

• Optional: Other toppings such as jalepenios, olives, etc.

How To Prepare:

1. Heat oven to 350.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and sautee until soft. Add meat and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up meat with a spatula, for about 5 minutes. Add beans and salsa. Mix well and continue to cook until salsa thickens.

3. Line the bottom of a large baking dish with tortilla chips, pressing down on them lightly to break them into bite-sized pieces. Spread the meat and bean mixture over the chips and top with cheese. Add sliced jalapenos or other toppings that you want to be cooked. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and gooey.

4. Scoop up with additional chips if desired.

We love us some avocado and if you agree, you may also want to top each serving with a fresh slice lightly sprinkled with lime juice. Add some Tapatio for a spicy flair!
