📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a round casserole dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chopped cilantro (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.

3. Place one tortilla at the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread an even layer of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

4. Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese, finishing with a tortilla topped with the remaining shredded cheese.

5. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

6. Remove the dish from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

7. Top the tortilla stack with sour cream, green onions, and additional cilantro if desired. Slice into wedges and serve.
