INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 pound ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • One 16-ounce can fat-free refried beans
  • Two 4-ounce cans whole green chiles, drained and cut lengthwise into quarters
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) pre-shredded colby-Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed and drained
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
