Taco Casserole

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

In a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat vegetable oil to shimmering over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and bell peppers until softened (about 8 minutes). Add garlic; cook an additional minute. Add chicken breast and sprinkle taco seasoning all over. Sauté until chicken is cooked through, breaking meat into small pieces (about 8 minutes). Pour in taco sauce, stir to combine, then remove from heat.

Meanwhile, spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray. Combine sour cream and cottage cheese in a medium bowl.

Layer half of the tortilla chips in the bottom of the casserole dish. Add the meat and vegetable mixture on top of the chips, then pour on the sour cream mixture. Top with remaining chips and shredded cheese.

Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted (about 30 minutes). Garnish with cilantro or green onion.

For the homemade taco sauce, simply combine ingredientsfor taco sauce in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
