A hearty casserole, loaded with veggies. Great for a make-ahead or freezer friendly meal. Serve with side salad. Calorie Cutter: Put cheese on only half of casserole or omit completely. Make it vegetarian: Omit chicken and add a second can of beans
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 1 19-oz can pinto beans, rinsed
- 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 1/2 cups corn, frozen (thawed) or fresh
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 corn tortillas, quartered
- 1 19-oz can mild red or green enchilada sauce (or salsa)
- 1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Grate zucchini.
- Add zucchini, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin and salt to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through, about 3 minutes.
