What happens when you have a snow day? You get inspired to make a new dish to last you a few days just in case you can’t get away. I really wanted to go to our favorite Mexican Spot for dinner, but with the roads being too icy and dangerous, I decided I would prepare something at home. I made a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up a few items to make a Grilled Chicken Taco Bake. It’s similar to my Baked Chicken Fajita and it’s equally delicious!!!
Before I get to the recipe, I must say that one of the best kitchen accessories I could have ever purchased is my food processor! It has truly come in handy with so many recipes and has saved me a lot of time. From slicing veggies to shredding cheeses, meats, etc…you name it! It helps me pull recipes together in no time.
Something is smellin’ soooooo good!
Grilled Chicken Taco Bake
Ingredients
- 2 servings of Clancy's Multi-grain Cheddar Crisps approximately 42 crisps
- 1 pound grilled chicken cooked and shredded
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 cup of green chiles
- 2 Tbsps of taco seasoning
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1 can of black beans drained
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1 cup of reduced-fat Fiesta Blend cheese
- Extra chips for scooping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grill chicken, shred, and set aside. (I used my George Foreman)
- Heat olive oil in large skillet. Sautee garlic, green chiles, and onions until soft.
- Add beans, salsa, shredded chicken, and taco seasoning and mix well allowing mixture (salsa) to thicken.
- Line 9x13 dish with multi-grain cheddar crisps. Press crisps gently to break them into pieces.
- Next add the chicken and bean mixture making sure it covers the crisps in the baking dish.
- Add 1 cup of reduced-fat shredded cheese to the top of dish and bake on 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (or until cheese is nice and bubbly).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can add additional crisps for dipping and scooping, use Taco Bake for hard or soft shell tacos, or just make a taco salad!
I used Clancy's Multigrain Cheddar Crisps from Aldi—so good!
You can substitute Clancy's Crisps for any brand of tortilla chips.
