Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped, large
- 1 Anaheim pepper thinly sliced, large
- 2 bell pepper thinly sliced, red
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 ½ cups enchilada sauce I prefer green
- 16 corn tortillas
- 2 chicken breast shredded, boneless, skinless, cooked
- ½ cup black olives California, sliced
- 1 black beans drained and rinsed, 14 ounce can
- 4 ounces queso fresco cheese crumbled (plus more for garnish)
- ¼ cup cilantro plus more for garnish, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion, and Anaheim and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Coat a 7- by 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread ½ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the dish.
- Lay 4 tortillas over the sauce, tearing the tortillas as necessary to make them fit properly.
- Spread ⅓ each of the pepper mixture, chicken, olives, black beans, queso fresco cheese and cilantro over the tortillas.
- Top with ½ cup of the enchilada sauce and 4 additional tortillas. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with corn tortillas, ½ cup enchilada sauce and queso fresco cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake until the casserole is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and cook for additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
- Let the casserole cool for about 15 minutes to allow it to set. Cut and serve.
