Ingredients
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
2 cups salsa
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 (15.25 ounce) canned corn, drained
1 cup black beans, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 cups shredded fiesta cheese
Garnishes (optional)
Sour cream
Guacamole
Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. If desired, line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with corn tortillas. This is purely optional.
Mix the shredded chicken, rice, taco seasoning, salsa, corn, black beans, salt, garlic and cumin together. If the chicken mixture doesn’t seem wet enough, add a little chicken broth. Spread in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
Cover evenly with cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.
Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with your choice of sour cream, jalapeƱos, guacamole and green onions.
