I'm sure there's a recipe out there somewhere for this, but this is what I threw together in honor of Cinco De Mayo!
10-12 oz cooked chicken, cut into bite size pieces (I used the dark meat from a whole chicken I roasted)
1 15-oz can black beans,drained & rinsed
1 15-oz can whole kernel corn, drained
2 oz onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
16 oz salsa
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded or diced
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil.
3. Mix all ingredients, except for cheese, in a casserole dish. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
This makes 8 servings, each with 213.6 calories, 6.2 g fat, 22.5 g carbs (3.9 g fiber), 16.3 g protein - 4 WW/Core+1
Stop being a lazy fucking pig, Becks!

Mexican Chicken & Corn Soup - Recipe
I am pulling from 3 different recipes here.
12 oz cooked chicken, chopped up (I used all dark meat from a roasted chicken)
2 tsp oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
2 cup skim milk
2 oz light cream cheese, softened and cubed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 medium tomato, diced
1 tsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (optional, for heat)
2 cups fresh or frozen corn (you can pre-cook this if you want)
salt and pepper to taste
1. In a good sized stock pot, sautee the onion and garlic in oil until tender.
2. Add water with bouillon and milk. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Stir in cumin, oregano, chipotle peppers, and tomato. Add salt and pepper.
3. Add corn and chicken. Heat until chicken is warm and corn is cooked through.
Makes 4-6 servings.
Using the numbers from my labels and SparkPeople.com's nutritional database, I got the following for 4 servings:
290 calories, 9.6 g fat, 26.8 g carbs (1.8 g fiber), 24.5 g protein, 6 WW points/Core+1
This was pretty darn good, with just enough spice. I'll make it again, but I might try to thicken the broth up a bit with cornstarch.
