  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into quarters
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, and half of the enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Layer half of the corn tortillas over the sauce, ensuring they cover the bottom evenly.
  5. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, followed by half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, enchilada sauce, and cheese.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
