Tex-Mex Little Potato Bake

It is a new year and with that we need some lightened up dishes that still have the warmth and flavor of a fabulously comforting dish, so today I bring you Tex-Mex Little Potato Bake. I lightened this up with chicken and very little oil to give you a healthy alternative that is still has loads of flavor. You won’t be missing a thing with this magnificent meal that the whole family will be digging into.

Little potatoes are very healthy, they have only 20 calories each and are naturally fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free, and gluten-free! Little Potato Company’s Creamer potatoes are truly a perfect part of your family’s healthy, balanced diet. We all want lightened up recipes for this time of year after all of our over indulging for the holidays, so today I have a fantastic meal for you!!

This wonderfully layered, easy, one pan meal is a delight to make and will have the family asking for it again and again. Mine gave it rave reviews!!

Do you know the story behind the Little Potato Company? I have a great video for you to see that will explain it all. Creamer potatoes are unique to only Little Potato Company, they are not new potatoes but fully grown potatoes.

 

They have many new varietals with unique tastes and seasonal crops as well. The recipes you can make with the little potatoes are endless and many are kid friendly, so friendly they will be in the kitchen making them!!

The chicken and taco seasoning is cooked first in the pan until browned, then removed and potatoes and onions are added to brown and cook. The chicken is mixed with taco sauce and then added back on top of the potatoes. All is topped with cheese and quickly baked in a hot oven. Served on top is a sliced tomato and cilantro, it is that easy!

Enjoy this dish with Creamer potatoes, your family will thank you for it!!

    This feature recipe sounds delicious – Tex-Mex Little Potato Bake. Minus the cilantro – we just don’t like each other. 😉
