Description

A comfort-food favorite that combines the flavors of classic enchiladas into an easy-to-make casserole.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Take half of the tortilla strips and layer them at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortilla strips. Then, dollop half of the sour cream on top, followed by half of the shredded cheese.
  5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Once baked, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

This casserole is perfect for potlucks and can be made ahead of time for busy nights. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for later.
