- 15 ounces canned black beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup canned corn (drained and rinsed; or frozen)
- 10 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chiles (1 can, drained)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grab a large oven-safe skillet or grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Add in the chicken and sprinkle on the taco seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet if you plan to use it in the oven.
- To the chicken add the black beans, corn, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes and green chilies, half of the cheese, and the cilantro. Stir to mix well.
- In your skillet or casserole dish, arrange half of the crushed chips in an even layer.
- Spread the chicken mixture over the chips.
- Top with the remaining cheese and remaining chips. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot through.
- Add optional toppings, if desired, and serve.
