Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Diced jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium heat with the vegetable oil. Season them with taco seasoning and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.
Grease a round 9-inch baking dish or casserole pan lightly with oil or cooking spray.
Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa across the bottom of the pan.
Place one tortilla into the bottom of the pan. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on top of the tortilla, followed by a layer of shredded chicken, some salsa, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Repeat layering with the remaining tortillas, beans, chicken, salsa, and cheese, until all ingredients are used. Top the final layer with an extra sprinkle of cheese and diced jalapeños (if using).
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Slice into wedges and serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
Enjoy your easy layered chicken tortilla casserole!
