Taco Thursday

How about


mixing it up? Yummy taco ingredients recreated for a new dish-
Layered Chicken Enchilada Bake
Cook's Notes: Approved  weight watchers-one serving 339 calories. Recipe inspiration from emilybites.com  and a great company meal
Ingredients:
  • 2 (10.oz) cans of red enchilada sauce, divided
  • 12  yellow corn (6 inch) tortillas
  • 1- 16. oz can refried bean
  • 2 TB. olive oil
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced in small pieces
  • 1/4 tsp. each cumin, chili powder, Adobo seasoning
  • 1 cup red and yellow sweet mini- peppers, diced
  • 1 cup sweet onions, diced
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed 
  • 1 small can steam fresh corn, drained or 1-1/2 cup frozen corn 
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) Shredded Mexican 4 Cheeses, low fat
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray bottom of pan. Spread about 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom using back of spoon. Arrange 6 tortillas on the bottom. I started with four and tore the other two to fill in the spaces. 


  • Using a spatula spread refried beans over the tortillas.
  • Mix corn and beans together and set aside.
  • In a skillet with deep sides heat oil. Add chicken pieces sprinkle with three spices, add in onions and peppers. Saute 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Cover and on low cook 5-6 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through. 
  • Drain any liquid from pan. To the chicken mixture add beans and corn and remaining enchilada sauce. Mix well and cook 2 minutes, uncovered low heat.
  • Spoon half of the enchilada/chicken mixture over the corn tortillas. Spread out evenly. Top with half of the cheese. 
  • Repeat with another layer of corn tortillas, enchilada/chicken mixture and ending with rest of cheese. 
  • Bake uncovered 35 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting. Serve over piece of Romaine lettuce with a side serving of salsa.

  1. I would probably substitute the green peppers for poblano strips (because I'm mexican lol), but otherwise this look delish! I'll be tweeting and pinning this recipe. Greetings from the Blogger's Pit Stop.
