Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 cup Fat-free refried beans
• 1.5 cups Low-sodium salsa
• 1 cup Frozen corn, thawed
• 1 cup Reduced-fat Mexican-blend shredded cheese
• 6 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin

• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• None Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salsa, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken.

Step 3

Lay 3 corn tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Tear them if needed to ensure they cover the bottom evenly.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the refried beans over the tortillas.

Step 5

Add half of the chicken mixture on top of the beans, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: 3 more corn tortillas, the remaining chicken mixture, and top with the final 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro (if desired) before serving.
