Instructions
Making Chicken Burrito Casserole is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, cooked rice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
3. Layer the Casserole: Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer half of the tortilla strips on the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
4. Repeat the Layers: Add another layer of the remaining tortilla strips, followed by the rest of the chicken mixture. Top it with the remaining cheese.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Cool: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top if desired.
8. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, with sour cream on the side if preferred.
