(Well food is fun for me, boy do I need to get out more!) Did everyone have one of those as a kid? They were a little disappointing in my book, but if I had been baking up something spicy…you never know how my life might have turned out! Well ok, maybe not any different, but hey a girl can dream can’t she? And if I’m dreaming kiddos, it’s probably going to include cheese!
Mexican Chicken Bake
5 Points Plus (4 Points-old system)
4 Servings
Ingredients
1 T canola oil
1/2 medium red onion, Sliced
1/2 medium bell pepper, Cut into strips
1 average jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
1 T Ground cumin
15 oz canned tomatoes with green chilies, (reserve 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 c cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 small corn tortillas
1 T Cilantro
1/2 c shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Sauté onion, pepper strips and jalapeno for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle cumin and stir well. Add tomatoes, except 1/4 cup, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and cook for 2 minutes.
Spray a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place one tortilla on the bottom. Spoon the chicken mixture on top. Cover with other tortilla. Spoon remaining tomatoes over top, followed by cilantro and cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Cut into wedges and serve with beans and rice or a green salad.
I haven't figured the points yet, but I am guessing this would be good with another type of meat also, ground beef or even shredded pork!
