To create zestier flavour, we cook the chicken using canned tomatoes with jalapeños instead of adding bottled salsa afterward.

Ingredients

Ground cumin

1 tbsp(s)

Light sour cream

6 tsp(s)

Ancho chili powder

1½ tsp(s)

Dried oregano

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1¾ pound(s)

Red bell pepper

1 large, cut into 1 1/2"pieces

Canned diced tomatoes

14½ oz

Canned black beans

15 oz, rinsed and drained

Corn tortilla

6 medium, 6" each

Olive oil cooking spray

6 spray(s)

Shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese

1½ cup(s)

Cilantro

⅓ cup(s), coarsely chopped

Pickled jalapeno peppers

⅓ cup(s), chopped, thinly sliced (optional)

Lime

1 wedge(s), cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a 5 quart or larger slow cooker, combine cumin, chile powder, oregano and salt; add chicken and toss to coat. Make sure chicken is in a single layer; top with red peppers and tomatoes. Cover and set heat to high; cook until chicken is fork-tender and cooked through, about 3 hours. Shred chicken with two forks in slow cooker; stir beans into slow cooker and cover to heat through, about 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F.
  3. Lightly coat both sides of tortillas with cooking spray, stacking them as you go; cut stack into 6 wedges. Place wedges in even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake until lightly browned and crisp, turning chips once halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Cool chips in pan on wire rack.
  4. Increase oven temperature to broil.
  5. Move chips so they are close together on pan; spoon chicken mixture over top with a slotted spoon and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil 4 inches from heat until cheese melts and mixture is bubbly, about 1 minute. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, pickled jalapeños and a squeeze of lime.
  6. Serving size: 1 c chicken mixture and 6 chips

Notes

If you prefer, sub store-bought tortilla chips for the homemade ones and swap plain non-fat yogurt for the sour cream (could impact the recipe's Points value).
