Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 12 small Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Salsa
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can Diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken and taco seasoning. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and 1 cup of salsa until smooth. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place 4 corn tortillas in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture, overlapping as needed.
Spread 1/3 of the seasoned chicken over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1/3 of the black beans and 1/3 of the diced tomatoes with green chiles on top.
Spread 1/3 of the remaining cream cheese mixture over the layers, followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times: tortillas, chicken, black beans, tomatoes, cream cheese mixture, and shredded cheese.
Top the final layer with any remaining salsa and shredded cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your Taco Fiesta Chicken Lasagna!
