  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (or use quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or more cheddar)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the Chicken and Sauce:
    • Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, enchilada sauce, green chilies, frozen corn, black beans, cooked rice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through.
  3. Top with Cheese:
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the chicken mixture.
    • Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Serve:
    • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
    • Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

Tips:

  • Add Spice: For extra heat, add diced jalapeños, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, or use a spicier enchilada sauce.
  • Make it Low-Carb: Skip the rice and use cauliflower rice instead for a low-carb version.
  • Make it a Casserole: If you prefer, transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
