Description
Cheesy, hearty, and full of Tex-Mex flavor, this One-Dish Chicken Tortilla Bake is the ultimate weeknight dinner. Layers of tortillas, chicken, beans, corn, and gooey cheese make a family-friendly meal you’ll want again and again.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
8 corn tortillas (6-inch), cut in halves or quarters
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups salsa or red enchilada sauce
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen or canned corn kernels, drained if canned
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer 4 tortillas on the bottom of the dish, overlapping as needed.
3. Spread half of the chicken evenly over the tortillas.
4. Top with half the salsa, half the beans, half the corn, and half the sour cream.
5. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
6. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, chicken, salsa, beans, corn, sour cream, and cheeses.
7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish with extra green onions and serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute flour tortillas, but corn tortillas hold up better without getting soggy.
For extra spice, use hot salsa or add diced jalapeños.
This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
