Steps:
- Be sure to cook your rice if you haven't already (if you are just reading this and just now realized you don't have any cooked rice and don't want to wait, consider switching to quinoa, which cooks much more quickly than brown rice. Instant brown rice also works in a pinch).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large casserole dish (9x13 inch or similar) with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to sauté until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 additional minute.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the rice and Greek yogurt until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the beans into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over the beans.
- Scatter the tomatoes with green chilis over the top.
- Spoon the rice and ground beef mixture on top of the tomatoes, spreading it into an even layer.
- Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and 1/2 cupmozzarella.
- Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot, about 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven to broil, then continue cooking until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 to 4 additional minutes, watching carefully so that the cheese does not burn.
- Let rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions, and serve.

SWEET POTATO CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This casserole is the tastiest chicken dish that I have ever tasted. The sweet potato adds an interesting addition to the chicken, alternatively butternut squash can be used in its place. Everyone I have ever cooked this casserole for has loved it! Serve with rice or mashed potato with fresh, crisp green vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until just starting to turn golden. Mix in the sweet potatoes and carrot; cook and stir for a few minutes, until lightly browned.
- Move the vegetables to the sides of the pan, leaving the center clear. Add the chicken; cook and stir until seared on all sides. Scatter the flour over the top, and stir it in. Gradually stir in the chicken stock, mixing carefully so that no flour lumps form. Scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan while you do this. Pour in the wine last, and mix through. Transfer to a casserole dish and cover with a lid.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and let it cool just a little before stirring in the cream (or else it may curdle).

CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
Enchiladas are typically made from rolled up tortillas, but in this gluten-free, grain-free version, we're using spiralized sweet potatoes in layers, to make a lasagna-style enchilada casserole. Who doesn't love lasagna and enchiladas? This dish is packed with veggies and protein and saves well for meal prep and leftovers. The layers of enchilada sauce, sweet potato, spinach, black beans and chicken are delicious and make for a healthy weeknight meal. Depending on how you slice the casserole, you can make 6 giant slices or 12 slices. I recommend making 12 and serving with a yummy side salad or veggie, like some corn or string beans.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Prepare the enchilada sauce. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the arrowroot powder and whisk until combined, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt to taste.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the enchilada sauce cooks, spiralize the sweet potatoes. Trim the ends, then slice halfway through the sweet potatoes lengthwise, careful not to pierce through the center. Spiralize to yield chip slices. Set aside.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange a third of the sweet potato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly to cover up any little gaps. Sprinkle half of the beans, half of the chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, half of the spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly over the sweet potato slices. Repeat, starting with a third of the sweet potato slices, then the remaining beans and chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, the remaining spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Finish the casserole with the remaining sweet potatoes slices and spread the remaining enchilada sauce over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake the casserole for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole bubbles, about 5 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then top with the avocado and cilantro before serving.
