Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and drained black beans, mixing until the ingredients are evenly combined. Remove from heat.

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Layer 6 corn tortillas evenly over the sauce, overlapping as necessary.

Step 7

Spread half of the chicken and bean mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheese.

Step 8

Pour 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese, and enchilada sauce.

Step 10

Top the final layer with the remaining cheese.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 13

Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped cilantro.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy!
