Steps
- Wash all produce before cooking.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Tomatoes, Peppers, black beans, corn, red onions, chili, cumin, limes, cilantro, and salt and pepper. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Drain excess liquid before building your casserole.
- Spray a 12” pie dish with non-stick spray. Lay one tortilla on the bottom of the dish, followed by about a quarter of your vegetable mixture. Then add a quarter of your shredded chicken and a quarter of your shredded cheddar cheese. Continue layering your casserole until you add your final tortilla on top.
- Add crumbled queso fresca on top of your last tortilla, as well as any leftover vegetable mixture.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Garnish with green onions. Allow to cool before cutting the casserole into pie-shaped servings. Serve and enjoy!
