(Light) Taco Casserole




24 Tortilla Chips (+ additional for serving)
1 TBSP Chili Oil or Olive Oil & Red Pepper Flakes
1 Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 pound Ground Chicken
2 TBSP Taco Seasoning
1 can Black Beans, drained
1 cup Salsa
1 cup Shredded Fat-Free or Reduced-Fat Cheese
Other toppings to taste - I used green chiles  but could also use jalapenos

Preheat oven to 350*.

In a large skillet, heat oil and add onion and garlic - sautee until soft.  Add meat and taco seasoning, cooking for about 5 minutes until cooked through.  Add beans and salsa.  Mix well and cook to thicken.






Line the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with tortilla chips.  Press the chips to break into bite-sized pieces.  Spread the meat mixture over the chips.  Top with cheese.  You could also add jalapenos or green chilies as well.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
