Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 can Refried beans
- 2 cups Salsa
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 6 medium Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken with the taco seasoning until evenly coated. Set aside.
Spread a layer of refried beans (about half the can) on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Tear or cut 2 flour tortillas into medium pieces and layer them over the refried beans, covering the dish as evenly as possible.
Spread half of the seasoned chicken on top of the tortilla layer, followed by 1 cup of salsa and 1/2 cup of sour cream, evenly distributed.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the layer.
Repeat the layering process: tortillas, the remaining beans, the remaining chicken, 1 cup of salsa, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 more cup of cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
