Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3-pound cooked chicken (boiled or roasted)
1 medium-size ripe tomato, peeled and chopped (juices included)
One 15 1/4-ounce can black beans, drained
1 1/2 cups bottled salsa
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
Four 8-inch flour tortillas, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons corn oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart casserole and set aside.
  • 2. Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken, shred the meat, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomato, beans, salsa, about three-quarters of the cheese, the cilantro, and cumin, season with salt and pepper, stir till well blended, and scrape into the prepared casserole. Arrange the tortilla quarters overlapping each other over the top, sprinkle with the oil, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Uncover, sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top, and bake till the top is golden and crusty, 10 to 15 minutes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it in this recipe during the week.
