Delicious Chicken Tortilla Casserole Easy Family Meal

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (15 oz)
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz)
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup salsa
• 8 pieces corn tortillas, cut into quarters
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 serving sour cream (for serving) (optional)
• 1 serving avocado slices (for serving) (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, chili powder, cumin, and salsa. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom to prevent sticking.
4. Layer half of the tortilla quarters over the chicken mixture, followed by half of the remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
5. Repeat the layers by adding the remaining tortilla quarters, the rest of the chicken mixture, and finally top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
6. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
