Casseroles are an easy method to blend your favorite flavors inside a pot. These dishes are easy and fun to make when we have a family get together or more number of people for lunch or dinner. With no time and almost readymade ingredients its an easy method of cooking at ease.
We love chicken and beans but for an additional chewy flavor, I also used mushrooms in this recipe. When you layer them inside tortillas with diced tomatoes and cheese they simply end up mouth watering.

Ingredients: (Serves 4 people)
- Chicken - 1lb (I used tenderloins)
- Button Mushroom - 8 oz (Roughly chopped)
- Black beans - 15 oz can
- Corn Tortilla - 8 no's
- Garlic - 3 cloves (Minced)
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Monterey Jack cheese - 4 oz (Grated)
- Tomato - 2 medium sized (Roughly chopped or 1-1/2 cup of salsa)
- Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
- Crushed Red pepper - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - as needed
- Black Pepper powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan, add chicken with salt and cook them completely. Add Mushrooms with garlic and crushed red pepper, cook until mushrooms are soft and tender. Add Black beans and cook until it gets hot (3 minutes or so). Switch off and keep aside.
- Take a griddle and heat Corn tortillas on both sides for 20 seconds each. Divide them and keep it covered with a kitchen cloth. In a bowl mix Tomato with oregano and required Salt, Pepper.
- Take an 8x8 inch pan and arrange the prepared ingredients. First line up Tortillas then Chicken Mushroom Mixture and Tomato Mixture then with Cheese. Repeat the process for another layer and cover with Tortillas, Tomato Mixture and Cheese for the ending layer.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover the arranged ingredients with a foil paper. Bake for 20 minutes. The cheese will melt and bubble. Serve hot.
My Notes:
- I used the beans after draining but you can also add that along with its juice in the can.
- Chicken can be avoided to make it vegetarian.
- Any variety of Tortillas can be used according to your taste.
- If you use Salsa of your choice for making this dish then it will give you more moisture inside but as my family prefers normal diced tomatoes I ended up with this dish in a flaky look. The actual recipe calls for salsa indeed.
