Chicken Enchilada Dip
Description
The dip begins by pouring red enchilada sauce into a casserole dish, then layering shredded cooked chicken, drained black beans, and thawed corn. Taco seasoning is sprinkled evenly over the mixture, which is then topped with chopped cilantro and a blend of shredded cheeses, such as cheddar and jack. Baking at 400 degrees heats the ingredients through while melting and browning the cheese, creating a warm, dense dip with Mexican-inspired flavors.
This dip is commonly served hot alongside tortilla chips for dipping, making it ideal for casual entertaining or game day snacks. The combination of tender chicken, creamy beans, and spicy sauce provides a balanced texture and flavor profile.
The dish can also be prepared in a slow cooker, offering a convenient alternative that keeps it warm directly from the pot during serving.
Ingredients
- 1 small can Red Enchilada Sauce (OR 2 cups of my favorite [url:1]HOMEMADE[/url] enchilada sauce)
- 1 chicken breast cooked and shredded, (rotisserie chicken or slow-cooked chicken will work great!)
- 1 small can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup yellow corn thawed, frozen
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cups Mexican blend cheese cheddar or jack cheese would work well too, shredded
- ⅓ cup cilantro roughly chopped
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour enchilada sauce into a casserole dish or shallow baking dish (a pie dish works well too). Add black beans, corn, and shredded chicken. Sprinkle taco seasoning over whole dish. Top with cilantro, then shredded cheese.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- This dip can be made in a slow cooker and served directly from the pot for convenience.
