Instruções

Prepare

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Mix filling

Heat the oil in a large pan. Once oil is shimmering, add in diced yellow onion and diced red pepper. Stir for 5–⁠6 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds; reduce heat if it starts to burn. Add chili powder and ground cumin. Stir for another 30 seconds or until fragrant. Reduce heat to low. Add diced green chilies, black beans, chili beans, frozen corn, chopped rotisserie chicken, and 2 cups mild enchilada sauce. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Stir gently until combined and warmed through, then remove from the heat.

Assemble

Pour 1/2 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce in the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Add 8 tortilla halves to cover the bottom of the pan. Spoon 1/3 of the chicken sauce on top. Add 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Monterrey Jack cheese. Add another 8 tortilla halves on top. Another 1/3 of the chicken mixture, 1/2 cup more Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup more Monterrey Jack cheese. Add another layer of 8 tortilla halves, the remaining 1/3 of chicken mixture, another 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and another 1/2 cup Monterrey jack cheese. Finish by adding one more layer of tortilla halves, the final 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, and the final 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Monterrey Jack cheese.

Bake

Lightly spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray and secure over dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes or until cheese is melty and gooey on top.

Serve

Remove casserole from the oven and let stand for 5–⁠10 minutes before cutting into it. Serve casserole with toppings of choice; I like a splash of fresh lime juice, a sprinkle of cilantro, fresh sliced avocado, a few cherry tomatoes, and some sour cream. Enjoy hot.
