Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn tortilla chips
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded cooked chicken (optional)
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, drained)
- 1 medium White onion, diced
- 1 cup Sour cream or Mexican crema
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco (optional garnish)
- 1 medium Sliced avocado (optional garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion with a pinch of salt until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 2 cups of tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the chips, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded chicken (if using), 1/3 cup of black beans, and 1/3 cup of diced tomatoes over the chips and sauce.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend on top.
Repeat the layering process two more times: chips, enchilada sauce, chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, and cheese, ending with a final layer of cheese on the top.
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 fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Top with dollops of sour cream or drizzled Mexican crema, fresh cilantro, queso fresco, and sliced avocado, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chilaquiles Casserole!
