Ingredients:

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 brick of cream cheese (4 oz)
3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
3 cups rice
1&1/2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese (I just used 1 bag)
4oz. diced green chilies (I used 1/2 lg can which was about 3.5 oz) - Use mild (or choose the spicy for an extra kick!)
15 oz. can of chopped tomatoes
15 oz. can of black beans (drained)
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Preparation:

Boil 3-4 chicken breasts and make your Minute Rice. Chop up the chicken into small pieces.
Combine sour cream, ricotta, and cream cheese. Add remaining ingredients (including the chicken) except the chips - mix well.
Pour into greased 9x13 freezable casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
Freeze.

Serving Day:
Thaw casserole.
Bake in a 350 oven for 30-45 minutes (depending on how thoroughly it is thawed).
Top with your crushed tortilla chips and serve!

Enjoy!
