Ingredients
  

For the Casserole:
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 ounce packet Old El Paso Taco Seasoning or homemade
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese soup from a can
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 can Old El Paso chopped green chiles
  • 16 ounces Mexican blend cheese divided
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 6 cups tortilla chips store-bought or homemade, lightly crushed and divided

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • Cooking Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breasts, seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning over the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, Rotel tomatoes, and chopped green chiles. Mix until well blended.
  4. Add the cooked chicken to the soup mixture, along with the drained black beans and half of the Mexican blend cheese. Stir until everything is combined.
  5. In a baking dish, spread half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly on the bottom. Pour the chicken and soup mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly. Top with the remaining tortilla chips and sprinkle the rest of the Mexican blend cheese over the top.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or use spicy taco seasoning.
  • This casserole can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
  • Customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients like olives or avocado.
