View Review

Turn leftover cooked chicken into a Mexican-style casserole by layering with red beans and rice, cheese and tortillas. Or, skip the chicken for a Meatless Monday dish!

Makes 10 servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 package ZATARAIN'S® Red Beans and Rice

1 can (8 3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained

1 can (4 1/2 ounces) chopped green chiles, undrained

6 flour tortillas (8-inch)

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Assorted toppings, such as sour cream, salsa and chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare Rice Mix as directed on package. Add corn and green chiles; mix well.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup of the rice mixture on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Top with 3 of the tortillas, overlapping as needed. Layer with 1/2 each of the remaining rice mixture, chicken and cheese. Repeat layering with remaining tortillas, rice mixture, chicken and cheese.

3. Bake 15 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with assorted toppings, if desired.

I've been preparing this a lot because it can be made in under 45 minutes. I love the taste of the cheese with the rice mixture.
