Ingredients
Scale
- For the Filling:
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
- 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Sauce:
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- For Assembly:
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (for topping)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, corn, black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Make the Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface and add about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top, ensuring all tortillas are covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced jalapeños or bell peppers to the filling.
- This casserole can be assembled a day in advance; just cover and refrigerate before baking.
