Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 can 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can 4 ounces green chilies, diced
  • 4 ounces regular or reduced-fat cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken I used rotisserie chicken
  • 5 cups tortilla chips 3 ounces
  • 1-½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1-½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

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.
