cilantro. Set aside.

3. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange tortilla strips
in the baking dish. Top with chicken filling. Top with beans. Top with tomato
sauce mixture.

4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese. If
desired, garnish with cilantro leaves. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
