    I made this with ground turkey and put my homemade taco seasoning on the meat. I also used some left over beef broth I had instead of chicken. Was a big hit and will make again!

    Healthier Mexican Chicken Casserole, Adapted from a Canyon Ranch recipe If cut into 6 servings, each piece is 255 calories If cut into 4 servings, each piece is approximately 380 calories , I made this with ground turkey and put my homemade taco seasoning on the meat I also used some left over beef broth I had instead of chicken Was a big hit and will make again!, We enjoyed this casserole It was easy to prepare I made a couple of modifications based on availability & personal preference I subbed regular tortillas, multi-colored mini peppers, & yellow onion, & used half of a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken w/ the veggies Since my daughter doesn’t like things too spicy, I cut back a bit on the cumin & the diced chilies But all in all, an enjoyable dinner
