Whole Enchilada Bake

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • One 16-ounce container low-fat cottage cheese
  • One 10-ounce box frozen cooked pureed winter squash, thawed and drained
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • One 15-ounce can all-natural enchilada sauce (we like mild)
  • Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas, cut in half
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken (12 ounces)
  • 1½ cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1½ cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil or coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, squash, eggs, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in the prepared pan. Arrange 8 tortilla halves over the sauce, allowing them to overlap slightly. Top evenly with 1 cup squash mixture, 1 cup chicken, half the can of corn, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.
  4. Repeat the next layer with 8 tortilla halves, 1 cup squash mixture, 1 cup chicken, the remaining corn, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Top with the remaining tortillas, squash mixture, enchilada sauce, and 1/2 cup cheese.
  5. Bake, uncovered, until the casserole is heated through and bubbly, about 35 minutes.
