How to Make Weight Watchers Points Plus Taco Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet, cook 1 lb ground chicken or turkey, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), and 1 minced garlic clove until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix and 1/2 cup taco sauce. Set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup light sour cream and 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese. Set aside.
  6. Place half of a 10-ounce bag of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  7. Spread the cooked chicken mixture evenly over the chips.
  8. Top with the sour cream and cottage cheese mixture.
  9. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and the remaining crushed tortilla chips.
  10. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with 3/4 cup salsa, if desired.
