If you're a fan of Mexican nachos, burritos, or tacos, you'll definitely appreciate this casserole. Unlike the appetizers mentioned above, it takes just minutes to assemble and features the same ingredients: beans, corn, tortillas, chicken, cheese, tomatoes, and aromatic Mexican spices. All the ingredients are simply mixed and baked in the oven, and the flavors combine beautifully. Top the finished casserole with fresh cilantro and red onion, drizzle with sour cream, and serve for breakfast or dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a 22 x 32 cm baking dish with vegetable oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes and peppers with chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add the black beans, frozen corn, chicken, tortillas, and half of the cheese and toss to coat and moisten. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the casserole. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Spoon sour cream over the top and garnish with red onion and cilantro. Serve hot.
