Ingredients

  • 20-25 corn tortilla chips, broken into bite-sized pieces (enough to cover the pan)
  • 2-3 cups cooked chicken breast meat, shredded or chopped
  • 1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained (you might not use all of this)
  • 1 - 10 oz. can mild RoTel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles, undrained
  • 1 - 15 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided, more or less to taste
  • ½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, divided, more or less to taste
  • 1 avocado, sliced thin
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • Black olives, sliced
  • Sour cream
  • Hot sauce, if desired

Instructions

  • Spray a large skillet (at least 12 inch) with non-stick cooking spray and heat the pan over medium heat.
  • Add the 20-25 broken corn tortillas to cover the bottom of the skillet. Add 2-3 cups cooked chicken and black beans to the pan. Start with about 1 cup black beans and you can add more later if it looks like you want it. Stir together to heat through.
  • Pour 10 ounces of RoTel, 15 ounces enchilada sauce, and 8 ounces tomato sauce into the pan with ¼ cup cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir to combine well. Continue to cook 5 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle on the remaining cheese, top with 1 sliced avocado, ½ cup chopped green onions and sliced black olives before serving.
  • Serve with sour cream, hot sauce and additional cheese on the side.
