Ingredients

1 pound extra-lean ground beef (95% lean)
2 cans (8 ounces each) no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
6 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir in the tomato sauce, beans, corn, green chilies, onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and oregano; heat through.
In an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray, layer half of the tortillas, beef mixture and cheese. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.

Can you freeze Chili Tortilla Bake?

Cool unbaked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°.
