This recipe is a combination of several I read about in some of my cookbooks. It is one of the easiest in my collection, and so delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 9 oz. pkg. frozen fully cooked diced chicken
  • 2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 24 oz. jar thick and chunky salsa
  • 1 cup taco sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Cojack cheese

PREPARATION:

In medium microwave safe bowl, cook onion and garlic in olive oil on HIGH for 2-3 minutes until tender. Stir in frozen chicken, black beans and salsa. (If freezing, cool onion and garlic mixture before adding frozen chicken.)

In 2 quart glass baking dish, pour taco sauce. Lay four corn tortillas over sauce. Top with half of chicken mixture. Spoon on half of sour cream in small dollops. Sprinkle with half of cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, sour cream and cheese. Cover with foil. At this point, you can wrap the casserole well and freeze up to 3 months.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes until bubbly. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer until cheese is melted. If frozen, thaw casserole overnight in refrigerator, then bake covered at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes until bubbly; uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer until cheese melts. Serves 6
