Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon Olive or canola oil
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Red bell pepper diced
  • 1 Small can of green chilies drained
  • 3 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 Cans of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 Tortillas
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Pico de gallo
  • 2 Limes cut into wedges
  • 1 Avocado diced

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray a spring-form pan with nonstick spray and set it aside.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add in the oil. When hot, add in the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Season with salt and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add in the chilies, chicken and spices and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and remove from the heat.
  • Place the beans in a bowl and season with a little salt and a spoonful of the pico de gallo, then set aside.
  • Place a tortilla into the spring-form pan and top with some of the beans and cheese. Top with another tortilla and then the chicken mixture and a little cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortilla, beans, tortilla, chicken — until all ingredients have been used and the last layer is a tortilla. Top with the remaining cheese and place onto a baking sheet and into the oven.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes and then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve with all of your desired toppings.
