Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 lb. raw chicken or 1 large can of chicken
2 cans black beans, rinsed
24 oz. jar salsa, or make your own
1 c. taco sauce
8 corn tortillas
1 c. sour cream
2 c. colby jack shredded cheese
Directions:
1. Saute onion, garlic in oil and add raw chicken. Cook until chicken is white. (If using canned chicken just add after onion is soft) Cool if freeezing.
2. Add beans and salsa to chicken mixture. Stir and set aside.
3. In a large baking dish, pour taco sauce spread on the bottom, line with 4 tortillas.
4. Top tortillas with half the chicken/bean mixture. Layer with 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup cheese.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Cover with foil. Bake now or Freeze for later.
7. Bake @ 350 for 25-35 mins covered, plus 5-10 minutes uncovered to melt cheese. OR if cooking from freezer- thaw in fridge several hrs. and bake@ 350 covered 45-60 minutes and 10-20 mins uncovered to melt the cheese. Allow for longer baking time if more frozen. (When I made this as a freezer meal I thawed mine too long and it got mushy when baked, but still tasted yummy.)
I liked the flavor of this dish. I kept going to it for lunch leftovers. It's probably pretty healthy too, eh? But Dave didn't love it & Ms. Picky didn't either, plus it was too spicy for her tastes, so I won't make it, but I'll eat it!
