"View Recipe: Mexican Chicken Casserole with Charred Tomato SalsaThe classic one-dish combination of ground beef, refried beans, fried tortillas, and lots of melty cheese is a crowd-pleaser, no question. But a single serving of most versions of Mexican Casserole can add up to nearly an entire day's worth of both saturated fat and sodium.The best way to lighten this monster was to create a base of familiar flavors, starting with a homemade salsa and traditional corn tortillas. We then swapped in lean chicken breast and nutrient-rich veggies for the ground beef and frijoles. The finishing touch is an unconventional but interesting blend of creamy Monterey Jack and sharp feta cheese; the latter adds a welcome tang. This casserole has less than one-third of the original's calories, saturated fat, and sodium. And you'll be able to get off the couch afterward unassisted.OLD WAY1,084 calories per serving28 grams saturated fat2,075 milligrams sodiumGreasy, processed ground beefBeans: Fried and fried againA pound of cheeseOUR WAY331 calories per serving6.1 grams saturated fat535 milligrams sodiumSkinless, boneless chicken breastVeggies: lightly seasoned and saut&#233;edA hearty sprinkle of Jack cheese and fetaView Recipe: Mexican Chicken Casserole with Charred Tomato SalsaSee More:&#160;Low-Calorie Recipes"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
