Fiesta Chicken Hot Bake
- 3 to 4 cups cooked, cut up chicken
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 T heavy whipping cream
- 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 T Taco Seasoning
- 1 onion, medium
- 1 T butter
Preheat oven to 350. Saute onion for a few minutes in a small skillet with the butter. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and put chicken in pan. Mix the taco seasoning in with the chicken. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for ne minute. Add heavy cream to the cream cheese and stir. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, spreading evenly over the top. Spread cheddar cheese on top and finally, place onions on top and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Top with your favorite low carb toppings such as salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers!
This recipe was inspired by Linda Sue's Mexican Chicken recipe. I had a ton of grilled leg and thigh pieces, so I decided to pick them off the bones and make a fiesta casserole.

Two Cheese Wet Burritos
Two Cheese Low Carb Wet Burritos
8 oz cream cheese - cut into 1 oz slices
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
8 Low Carb Wraps
2 lbs ground beef, browned
1 jar salsa
8 oz tomato sauce
1/2 head shredded cabbage
2 T Linda's Taco Seasoning
Brown the ground beef with salt and pepper. Chop up cabbage in small, bite-size pieces. I cut mine kind of like coleslaw-style. Drain fat from beef and add in taco seasoning, cabbage, tomato sauce and 1/2 cup salsa. Cover and cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. This usually takes at least 15-20 minutes to get the cabbage tender... but this is a crucial step! Let your ground-beef mix cool for a while so that it will be easier for you to handle.
Spread one ounce of cream cheese on each low carb wrap, fill them with the meat filling and roll up. Carefully place each one in a greased 9x13 baking dish. If you have any meat filling left, spread it evenly over the top of the roll-ups. Evenly distribute some salsa (to your taste) over the top of your creation. Finally, sprinkle 8 oz shredded cheddar on top and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Top with your favorite Mexican fixin's like lettuce, sour cream, salsa, tomatoes and hot peppers!
