Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups enchilada sauce
- 12 small corn tortillas halved (see note)
- 1 ½ cups sour cream
- 3 cups shredded chicken from approx. 3 small chicken breasts
- 1 ½ cups black beans or a mix of black beans and canned corn
- 3 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
- salt to taste
- chopped cilantro for serving
- Cubed Avocado for serving
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cover the bottom of a large baking dish with a thin layer of enchilada sauce to prevent the casserole sticking.
- Arrange the halved tortillas to create a layer in the bottom of the dish, then top with approximately 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce, half the sour cream, half the chicken, half the black beans, and 3/4 cups of the shredded cheese. Repeat the process to create two layers.
- Arrange the remaining tortillas on top of the casserole. Top with the remaining enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes until the cheese on top is browned and bubbling.
- Leave the casserole to rest for 15 minutes before serving. This is important to stop the layers falling apart during slicing!
- Serve sprinkled with chopped cilantro, and with avocado and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- The exact number of tortillas you need will depend on the exact size and shape of your dish, as well as how big they are which can vary brand to brand. Write down how many you use so you’ll know for sure the next time you make this casserole!
- Corn tortillas are best in this recipe as flour tortillas may become too soggy during baking.
