Instructions
- For the chicken, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasonings and salt and pepper.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet or pan to medium heat. Add the chicken and sear each side about 2 minutes each. Add beer or chicken broth and reduce heat. Simmer about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and you can shred it with a fork. Remove from heat and add to a mixing bowl. Shred the chicken up with a couple forks.
- Add oil to the same skillet and heat.
- Add onions and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
- Add garlic and stir. Cook 1 more minute.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, cumin and oregano. Stir.
- Add the cooked seasoned vegetables to the mixing bowl with the cooked chicken, then add the tomatillo salsa and black beans. Stir to incorporate.
- In the same pan, spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the bottom of the pan.
- Layer on half of the tortillas, then half of the remaining chicken mixture and the shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, then remaining chicken mixture, then the remaining cheese.
- Set oven to broil.
- Set the skillet in the middle of the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted. You can also bake it at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, if preferred.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve!
Notes
- NOTE: This is AWESOME served with some crumbled tortilla chips over the top. Added crunch factor!
