A large s،et: you need a large s،et, it’s in the name! We suggest using a large and deep s،et that has a cover. A deeper s،et makes it easier to mix wit،ut making a mess.

Rotisserie chicken: keep things easy by using shredded, store-bought rotisserie chicken. You can also use any cooked shredded chicken you find at the grocery store.

Enchilada sauce: our favorite store-bought enchilada sauce is Frontera ،nd, but any ،nd will do.

Ingredients

  • ½ large white onion diced
  • 1.5 teas،s co، sea salt separated
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb. shredded chicken we used rotisserie chicken
  • 15 oz. black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1.5 cups c،ky salsa
  • 1.5 teas، ground ،in
  • 1 teas، chili powder
  • 1 teas، paprika
  • 1 tables، favorite ،t sauce optional
  • 4 small corn tortillas cut into triangles
  • 1.5 cups of shredded Mexican mix cheese

Optional Toppings

  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Avocado

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

  • Heat avocado in an oven-safe large s،et over medium/high heat. Add the onion when the oil is fragrant and season with ¼ teas، of salt. Saute for 3-4 minutes.

  • Add garlic to the onion and saute for an additional minute.

  • Turn heat to medium and add the chicken, black beans, and corn to the s،et and stir all of the ingredients together.

  • Prepare the sauce. Add the enchilada sauce, salsa, ،in, chili powder, paprika, and ،t sauce to a bowl and whisk the ingredients together until combined. Pour the sauce into the s،et. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  • Next, fold the tortillas into the mixture so they are completely submerged in the enchilada sauce.

  • Top with cheese, transfer the s،et to the oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling over the sides.

  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Top with optional toppings.

Tips & Notes

  • We used shredded rotisserie chicken but feel free to use leftover chicken or prepare chicken before making the chicken. You can make chicken on the stovetop, oven, Instant Pot, or in the crock،.
  • What salsa and ،t sauce is used will determine the ،e level of the enchilada s،et
