STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.

2

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked and onions are mostly tender, about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.

3

Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes and green chiles, and tomato sauce. Stir until combined. Bring mixture to a low simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

4

Spoon a thin layer of the meat mixture into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Layer 3-4 tortillas over the mixture, breaking as needed for an even layer. Spread the remaining meat mixture over the tortillas. Top with the remaining tortillas.

5

Cover the top with shredded cheese. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and cover the casserole dish, sprayed side down.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
