Nutritional Information:

  • Calories: 133 per serving

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken breast or turkey
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 1 can whole kernel corn
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp taco sauce
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup green onions

Instructions:

  1. Begin by sautéing the ground chicken or turkey, diced onions, taco seasoning, taco sauce, corn, and black beans in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Once the meat mixture is cooked through, it’s time to assemble the casserole. Spoon half of the meat mixture into a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly to form a base layer.
  3. Next, add a thin layer of fat-free sour cream over the meat mixture in the casserole dish. This adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor to the dish.
  4. Sprinkle half of the fat-free shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer, ensuring even coverage across the casserole.
  5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining meat mixture, sour cream, and shredded cheese, creating a second layer on top of the first.
  6. Once all layers are assembled, cover the casserole dish with the remaining shredded cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed across the top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then bake the taco casserole for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  9. To finish, garnish the taco casserole with diced fresh tomatoes and chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and color.

This Taco Casserole is ready to be enjoyed by your family and friends. With its irresistible flavors and simple preparation, it’s sure to become a staple dish for all your gatherings and celebrations.
