In my quest to be even more thrifty and providential (as opposed to cheap) I have been frequenting websites that offer coupon-using and low-cost-living tips. UtahDealDiva.com and 5DollarDinners.com had a recipe last week that looked good enough to try and basic enough that I had everything for it. Tortilla Chip Chicken Casserole. I was amazed how tasty it was! I even looked forward to having it for lunch, which is big in my world. This is what I did...
In a 9x13 pan, layer:
1 can of diced tomatos (I used the kind with green chilis)
1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
A couple of breasts of chicken boiled and shredded
1/2 a bag of stale tortilla chips (crushed)
Mix in bowl and pour on top:
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
Bake at 350 for a half hour, top with cheese for the last few minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
I also put green onions in cause I had some and thought later that olives would have been quite tasty. The picture is from the website (ours was devoured prior to a photo-op) and she used pinto beans and cilantro. Do what works for you, but I think you're in for a treat!

Looks yummy!
I might make that tonight; thanks for sharing! Hey, and give Isaac's plate back! (he bought that dish set 8 years ago and is missing two plates : )
Oooh, yum! I'll have to try that one! I'm always up for new, easy, cheap recipes.
I also enjoyed your leftovers. I am going to have to make it for dinner!
