Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, extra sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Spread half of the chicken mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.
  5. Spread the remaining chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  6. Top with the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite optional toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
  • If you don’t have Monterey Jack cheese, any good melting cheese like Pepper Jack or a Mexican blend will work.
