Chicken Quesadilla Casserole image

A good mexican casserole that is also decently healthy! To make it truly guilt free, grill/boil the chicken instead of sauteing, substitute light cheese (or use less), and use corn or whole wheat tortillas. The difference is truly subtle, and can have a major impact on calories!

I'm not a big fan of casseroles, but this one is an exception. It's so flavorful and cheesy. I love that it's made with whole wheat tortillas, which makes it a little healthier.
