Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 each Mission® Super Size Yellow Corn Tortillas
4 oz. Mission® Brown Bag White Tortilla Strips, crushed
15 oz. Diced tomatoes, canned
10 oz. Diced tomatoes with green chilies, canned
16 oz. American processed cheese product, cubed

16 oz. Chicken breast, cooked, shredded
30 oz. Black beans, canned, drained, rinsed
1½ cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 2. In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium high heat until melted. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about five minutes. Once onions are cooked, add the undrained diced tomatoes, tomatoes with green chilies, and the American processed cheese product. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until warm and melted. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and the black beans. 4. To start building the casserole, spoon a small amount of the cheese /tomato mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly, lay out four tortilla shells on top of the cheese, covering the bottom of the pan. Top with ½ the chicken & bean mixture and ½ of the remaining cheese sauce, spreading each layer evenly. Sprinkle ½ of the cheddar cheese over. Repeat layers. Top with the crushed tortilla chips. 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Cut and serve.
  • - For those who prefer more spice, this recipe can be prepared with 20 oz. of diced tomatoes and green chilies.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheese sauce, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

I served this casserole with a side of rice and beans, and it was a perfect meal. The flavors of the casserole and the rice and beans complemented each other perfectly.

I made this casserole in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and it was the perfect size for my family of four. If you have a larger family, you may want to double the recipe.

I added a cup of corn to this casserole for some extra sweetness. It was a great addition, and it made the casserole even more filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of chicken in this casserole. It was just as delicious, and it's a great way to get some extra protein in my diet.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I roast a whole chicken, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, so I left them out of this casserole. It was still delicious, and my family didn't even notice they were missing.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I used a spicy salsa in this casserole, and it gave it a nice kick. If you like your food mild, you can use a milder salsa or even just tomato sauce.

I added a can of black beans to this casserole for some extra protein and fiber. It was a great addition, and it didn't overpower the other flavors.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It was just as delicious, and it made the casserole a little healthier too.

Easy peasy! I had some leftover chicken and a bag of Mexican cheese in my fridge, so I decided to give this recipe a try. It was so simple to make and turned out great. My kids loved it too.

I'm generally not a fan of Mexican food, but this casserole was surprisingly delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a quick and easy recipe to follow. I used a rotisserie chicken and it was perfect. The flavors were amazing and my family loved it. This is definitely a recipe I will make again.
