Ingredients That Will Make You Say “Yum!”
To whip up this delightful dish, gather the following golden nuggets of flavor:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (the star of the show!)
- 1 cup salsa (choose your heat level!)
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed (because everything’s better with beans)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned, we’re not here to judge!)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix, let your heart decide)
- 8 flour tortillas (because we need to wrap this goodness)
- 1 tsp cumin (to spice things up)
- Salt and pepper to taste (the classic duo)
Instructions: Let’s Get This Party Started!
Now that you have all your ingredients gathered, let’s crank up the heat and get cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) because we need to create a warm environment for our masterpiece.
- In a big bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, salsa, black beans, corn, cumin, and half of the cheese. Give that a good stir until everything is well combined and as harmonious as a boy band!
- On each tortilla, spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture. Roll them up tightly like you’re wrapping a present (a delicious gift for your taste buds!).
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish. You can fit a whole fiesta in there, so don’t be shy!
- Top the tortillas with the remaining salsa and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Who can say no to more cheese? Not us!
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, like the sun on a perfect summer day.
- Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes (this part is tough, we know). Cut into slices and serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cilantro, or a splash of lime juice.
There you have it! A meal that’s quick, simple, and oh-so-delicious. Enjoy your Quick Chicken Tortilla Bake with family and friends, or maybe just indulge all by yourself—no judgment here!
