Chicken Enchilada Casserole
- 8 ounces, weight Cooked Chicken, Shredded - I Like To Use Leftover Rotisserie Chicken
- 2 cans (10 Oz. Size) Enchilada Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Onion
- 1 package Yellow Saffron Rice, 5 Ounce Packet
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained
- 20 Corn Tortillas
- 8 ounces, weight Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- Optional Garnishes: Sour Cream, Guacamole, Salsa, Etc
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put shredded chicken, 1 can of enchilada sauce and minced onion in a saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat so the chicken absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
- Cook yellow rice according to the directions on the package.
- When rice is done, begin layering ingredients into a greased 9 x 13 casserole dish like you would with a lasagna.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with half of the enchilada sauce, then add a layer of the tortillas cutting some in half to provide full coverage.
- Next add a layer of the rice (use half of it).
- Then add a layer of beans (use half of them), then chicken with sauce (use half of it) and top with cheese (use a third of it).
- Repeat with tortillas, remaining rice, beans and chicken, and a third of the cheese.
- For the last layer, add tortillas, the remaining enchilada sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
- Put it into the preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes until bubbly.
- Serve with sour cream and guacamole for topping.
