Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 oz tortilla chips (broken into large pieces (2 cups))
1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed (can do pinto beans too))
3 cups cooked chicken breast (diced)
2 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese
3 cups your favorite salsa ((I like Frontera))
1 bunch scallions (sliced)
2 tbsp taco seasoning
sour cream (for garnish (optional))
avocado slices (for garnish (optional))
fresh chopped tomato (for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tortilla chips, corn, black beans, diced chicken, cheese, salsa, scallions, and taco seasoning. Stir it all together very well, being careful not to crush the tortilla chips too much. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary (and keep in mind this will taste wetter than when it comes out of the oven).
  • Pour the entire mixture into an 8×12 or 9×13 casserole dish, and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then serve with your favorite garnishes (like avocado slices, sour cream, fresh chopped tomatoes, scallions, etc). Enjoy!

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and turmeric. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and the spices are toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and green chiles, chicken and both bags of rice. Stir together and cook until the rice is heated through and beginning to absorb some of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and sprinkle the pepper jack over the top. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle over the cilantro and serve.

MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.-Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska
