Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Spread half the crushed chips into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, black beans, corn, 1 cup of the cheese, Ro-tel, green chiles, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and the taco seasoning.
