Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded
- ¼ cup water
- 4 tbsp taco seasoning
- 5 cups Mexican rice cooked
- 1 ounce can olive
- ½ cup green onion chopped
- 1 (15 ounce can) black beans
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 cup green chile enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In medium pan cook the chicken with the water and taco seasoning over medium heat until heated through.
- Prepare the mexican rice.
- Combine the chicken, rice, green onion, cilantro, beans, and 1 cup of cheese into a casserole dish (I used a 9x11). Stir until mixed.
- Pour the green chile enchilada sauce over the top and cover with foil.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy with some tomato, avocado, and sour cream.
Notes
- If cooking chicken to shred heat a medium size pan over medium heat. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes then turn to cook the other side. Pour about 2-3 cups of water into the pan, cover with a lid and allow to cook for about 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove and chicken will easily shred.
- Recipe can be halved and baked in an 8x8 baking dish.
