Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 3-quart baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

⭐️Make the roux. Stir in flour then slowly whisk the chicken broth into the mixture. Bring to a simmer. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Stir in salsa, chicken, beans, and cilantro then remove from heat.

Layer the casserole. In the prepared pan, sprinkle about 1/3 of the crushed tortilla chips. Top with chicken mixture, sprinkle with 1/2 of the shredded cheese then top with remaining tortillas and cheese.
⭐️Bake. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 5 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.
