Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
2 green bell peppers, diced
1 onion, diced
3 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste, divided
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute green bell peppers and onion until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix chicken breasts, black beans, tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, half the Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chili powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  • Place 1/2 the tortillas in the bottom of a baking pan. Spoon half the chicken mixture on top. Add the remaining tortillas and top with remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 45 minutes.
