Southwest Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (I use rotisserie)

  • One 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ยผ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 bottle SideDish Southwest, dividedย 
  • 8 grain-free tortillas (I use Siete Almond Flour)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ยผ cup thinly sliced jalapenos, optionalย 
  • Freshly chopped cilantro leaves, optional for serving
  • 4 radishes, cut into matchsticks, optional for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375โ„‰.

  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken, green chiles, black beans, broth, and ยผ cup of SideDish Southwest Dressing. Stir to combine. Set aside.

  3. In a 10-inch or 12-inch cast iron skillet, pour ยผ cup of SideDish Southwest in the bottom and spread until it evenly coats the bottom in a thin layer. Layer 3 tortillas over the sauce to cover the bottom of the skillet. Top with half of the chicken mixture, then 1/3 cup of the cheese.

  4. For the second layer, lay 2 more tortillas on top, the remaining chicken mixture, and 1/3 cup more of the cheese.
  5. Finish by topping with 3 more tortillas, the remaining SideDish Southwest Dressing and spread across the tops of the tortillas, and the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese. Top with the sliced jalapeรฑos, if using.

  6. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro and radishes, if desired.
