Ingredients
- 2 cups diced chicken breast meat
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (4.5 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
Instructions
1
First, set the oven to its highest temperature setting, 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C).
2
Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray it with cooking oil. Add the chicken along with some ground cumin and coriander; cook until the chicken is fully cooked. Transfer the cooked chicken to a medium-sized bowl.
3
Then, combine the black beans, diced chile peppers, and chopped cilantro in the bowl with the chicken.
4
After that, spread a layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 11x7-inch baking dish. Place four tortillas on top of the sauce, overlapping them slightly if needed.
5
Add a layer of chicken mixture over the tortillas; sprinkle some cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top. Repeat this process by adding another layer of enchilada sauce over the tortillas, followed by four more tortillas.
6
Next, add another layer of chicken mixture over the tortillas; cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
7
After that, bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid or foil and sprinkle some cheese over the top; add a few dollops of sour cream. Continue baking, uncovered, until the cheese melts and becomes golden brown, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes more. Finally, let the dish stand for 10 minutes before serving.
