Description
A high-protein casserole featuring ground chicken, taco seasoning, beans, corn, tomatoes, and tortilla strips, baked with melted cheese for a flavorful Mexican-inspired meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 15 ounces canned pinto beans, drained
- 10 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 cup frozen roasted corn
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 6 thin corn tortillas, sliced into strips
- 4 ounces shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the ground chicken until thoroughly browned, then stir in the taco seasoning to distribute the flavor.
- Add the beans, diced tomatoes with chiles, corn, and chicken broth, allowing the mixture to heat through and slightly thicken.
- Gently fold in the tortilla strips so they absorb some of the sauce, then level the mixture with a spatula.
- Spread the shredded cheese over the top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are crispy and the cheese is bubbling.
Notes
- This recipe is high in protein due to the ground chicken and beans.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to minimize cleanup.
- Adjust spice level by choosing mild or hot diced tomatoes with green chiles.
