Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked chopped chicken Shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly
  • 1 oz taco seasoning Adds a burst of flavor to the dish
  • 1 10.5-oz Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup Provides a creamy base
  • 1 cup sour cream For additional creaminess and tang
  • 1 cup black beans Rinsed and drained for extra protein and fiber
  • 1 10-oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies Adds a spicy kick
  • 1 cup corn kernels Sweet corn complements the other flavors nicely
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For that melty, cheesy goodness
  • 3/4 cup tortilla strips To add crunch to the topping

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chopped chicken, taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, black beans, Rotel tomatoes, and corn. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. This will create a deliciously cheesy crust as it bakes.
  • Finally, sprinkle the tortilla strips over the cheese. This will add a delightful crunch to each bite!
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
  • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Mexican Chicken Casserole with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Use high-quality taco seasoning for the best flavor.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to prevent overcooking.
  • Rinse canned beans to reduce sodium content.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving for easier slicing.
