Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350° and spray a 13 by 9 inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin and salt. Cook about 1 minute then add chicken broth, beans, tomatoes, chilies, and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted.
Add the chicken and simmer about 6 to 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of chicken mixture in the bottom of the baking pan. Spread 1/3 of the tortilla chips and 1/3 of the cheese over the chicken mixture. Repeat the layers 2 more times.
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling hot. Top with cilantro before serving.

Notes
Drain all the liquid out of the canned items to reduce how much liquid will be in the sauce.
Use gluten-free corn tortilla chips if you need to be strictly gluten-free.
