Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a bowl, blend together softened cream cheese and enchilada sauce until smooth. Stir in chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, tortilla pieces, and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Pour the mixture into a deep, oven-safe cast iron skillet or a greased casserole dish. Top evenly with the remaining Cheddar cheese and sliced black olives. (5 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 25 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili powder or cumin to the chicken mixture.
Feel free to substitute with your favorite type of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
If you prefer a spicier dish, use a hot enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them before adding them to the mixture.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
