Preheat oven to 375*. Cut green chilies in half lengthwise. Arrange chilies in a single-layer in an 8″ square baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray (or use healthy oil if you need it). Heat over medium-high heat; brown beef, breaking up any clumps. Add onion, chili powder, cumin, salt, and garlic; saute 5 minutes, stirring to crumble. Add Ro-Tel; cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Spoon beef mixture over chilies. Top with corn. Carefully spread beans over corn. Sprinkle cheese over beans. Bake for 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; top with chopped tomato and green onions, and serve.
