Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced, medium
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken cooked shredded
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 black beans 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 12 corn tortillas cut into quarters, small
  • 3 cups Mexican blend cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine.
  4. Stir in the black beans and 1 cup of enchilada sauce, and remove from heat.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Layer one-third of the tortilla quarters over the sauce, followed by one-third of the chicken and bean mixture, and one-third of the cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
