A warm, layered comfort dish featuring chicken, beans, rice, and melted cheese, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken, cooked (Can be roasted, shredded, or leftover rotisserie meat.)
- 1 can Black beans
- 1 Cilantro, Fresh (Use for garnish.)
- 1 cup Corn, fresh or frozen (Frozen corn works great.)
- 1 cup Salsa (Jarred salsa is acceptable.)
- 2 cups Rice, cooked (Cold rice holds together better.)
- 1 tsp Chili powder (Adjust according to spice preference.)
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 cup Cheese (Use grated cheese for best melt.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, fresh cilantro, corn, salsa, cooked rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle cheese on top of the mixture.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
Notes
For a little lift, stir half the cilantro into the mix and save the rest to scatter on top when it comes out hot. If the mix feels too wet, a few extra minutes in the oven will solve that.
