Description
A dish that never fails to please! There are so many variations of ingredients—just use what you have! You really can’t go wrong with this easy family recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- 2-½ cups Shredded Chicken Breast, Cooked
- 1 can (7 Oz.) Diced Green Chilies
- 1 package (about 1 Oz.) Taco Seasoning Mix
- 8 whole Corn Tortillas, Or 6 Flour Tortillas
- 1 can 15 Oz. Black Beans
- 2 cups (16 Oz.) Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 jar (16 Oz.) Homestyle Or Chunky Salsa
- 1 can Sliced Black Olives (optional)
- ½ cups Cilantro (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish and set aside.
Heat oil in large skillet. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked chicken, green chilies and taco seasoning (just the powder, do not add water).
Layer half the tortillas in prepared baking dish. Top with chicken mixture, and beans. Sprinkle half of the black olives and cilantro on top, if desired. Cover this layer with half the cheese.
Layer remaining tortillas on top. Spread salsa evenly over tortillas, add remaining cilantro and black olives, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Notes:
You can substitute beef for chicken, using either ground beef or carne asada. I’ve tried both! It’s all good.
Sometimes, I saute a teaspoonful (ok, it’s heaping) of garlic with the onions. I like garlic.
Add pepper jack to the cheddar for added zing, using 1 cup of each.
Layer jalapeno slices right under the top layer of cheese. Yum!

This was so good!! I used the carne asada you find at trader joe’s in the meat section already seasoned and ready to cook and whole wheat flour tortillas….scrumptious!! Thanks for the recipe.

I made this tonight and it turned out really good! I didn’t have anything other than hot salsa, so I used a can of medium red enchilada sauce because I wanted my kids to eat it too. Other than that I followed the recipe, using flour tortillas. For how easy it was, it was great! Definitely don’t skip out on the cilantro! That’s the best part.
