Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Sharing is caring!

I love Mexican food and I would eat it everyday if my family would allow it, but since they don’t, I tend to make a Mexican food dish once a week. I am always looking for new Mexican inspired dishes and when I stumbled upon this one I knew I had to make it.

I found Tried and Tasty’s website and started browsing through all of her recipes since they looked so yummy! I stumped upon the Chicken and Black Bean Green Enchilada Rice Bake and knew we would be a match made in Mexican food heaven!!

For the recipe I used a box of Mexican rice and rotisserie chicken. While the rice was cooking I chopped up my chicken and mixed the sauce. By time I was done doing that the rice was done. It was very easy to make and super yummy. I’m actually eating some while I type this up. It tastes just as good reheated and would make a great freezer meal! I am thinking I might add some Fiesta corn in next time…
