Print Recipe

A hearty and comforting Rotisserie Chicken Enchilada Casserole that layers tender shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and corn tortillas with a zesty red enchilada sauce and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion and bell peppers in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and half of the enchilada sauce until well combined.
  4. Layer a handful of tortilla strips on the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of the chicken mixture and a layer of cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortilla strips and chicken mixture, finishing with the rest of the cheese.
  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the casserole.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with cilantro and serving.

Notes

  • Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time on prep.
  • You can substitute black beans with pinto beans if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the onion and pepper sauté.
  • Ensure the tortilla strips are well-coated with sauce to prevent them from drying out.
