Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 2 10 oz cans diced tomatoes with chiles (e.g., Rotel)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 15.5 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 10 oz bag frozen corn
  • 5 cups shredded cooked chicken (e.g., rotisserie chicken)
  • 12 small corn tortillas, quartered
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, for serving
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion, for serving
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, for serving

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch casserole dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a 9×13-inch casserole dish with canola oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the diced tomatoes with chiles, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add black beans, frozen corn, shredded chicken, quartered tortillas, and half the cheese. Gently mix until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer mixture to the greased dish and spread into an even layer.
  5. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  6. Raise oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove foil and top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Top with dollops of sour cream, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Use shredded rotisserie chicken for ease. Swap Monterey Jack for cheddar or a Mexican blend. Substitute pinto beans or add diced jalapeños for heat. Flour tortillas can be used in place of corn tortillas if needed.
