Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 can Black beans
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 6 whole Flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add salsa, sour cream, taco seasoning, black beans (drained and rinsed), and corn to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
Layer 2 flour tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish, tearing them as necessary to cover the surface.
Spread one-third of the chicken mixture over the tortillas evenly, then sprinkle with one-third of the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Repeat the process for two more layers, ending with a cheese layer on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Top with chopped cilantro (if desired) and serve warm. Enjoy!
