Mexican Chicken Casserole

-2 Tbls +1 tsp taco seasoning, divided

-1 can pinto or black beans, drained

Directions

*If using cooked rotisserie chicken, proceed to step 3

1) Smooth 1/2 tsp olive oil over the chicken breasts and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes at about 200 degrees Celsius until the chicken is firm to the touch and done in the middle.

2) Let the chicken rest for at least 10-15 minutes.

3) Shred the chicken by hand by breaking the chicken apart and rubbing it between your fingers.

4) Mix the yogurt with 2 Tbls taco seasoning and the salsa.

5) Mix the yogurt sauce and shredded chicken together.

6) Mix the beans with the black pepper and 1 tsp of taco seasoning.

7) In a greased casserole dish, evenly layer a corn tortilla with some of the chicken mixture and some beans.

8) Repeat the process so you have 3-4 layers.

9) Top the casserole with cheese and bake at 230 degrees Celsius for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
