Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Layer a bit of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Arrange half of the tortillas, overlapping if necessary.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked rice, black beans, corn, half the cheese, salsa, and two-thirds of the enchilada sauce.
- Spread half of the mixture across the tortillas in the baking dish.
- Repeat with another layer of tortillas and the remaining chicken mixture.
Baking
- Finish with a layer of tortillas, then pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to avoid burning tongues.
Notes
If the casserole turns out soupy, allow it to sit for longer as it thickens when cooling. Leftovers can be frozen and reheat well. For lighter options, add extra veggies like bell peppers or zucchini. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking.
