Mexican Casserole


2 c. diced chicken
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground corriander
2 T. cilantro
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can (4.5 oz) green chilies (drained)
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
8 corn tortillas
2 c. shredded cheese
8 oz. sour cream
Preheat oven to 375. Saute chicken with cumin and corriander. Put into medium bowl. Stir in beans, cilantro, and chilis. Spread 1/2 of the sauce over the bottom of an 11x7 glass baking dish. Place 4 tortillas over the sauce. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat the layers (minus the cheese). COVER and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, dot with sour cream and cook an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 min and serve.
*I found this recipe online when looking for something to use enchilada sauce with (without making actual enchiladas). It was really easy and very yummy. I did not put the sour cream on during the baking process. I also found that it took only a couple minutes for the cheese to melt (not the 5-10 minutes suggested). My family gobbled this up (including my 2 year old).
