Cinco de Mayo!

Tonight I made this enchilada casserole.  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Layered-Chicken-and-Black-Bean-Enchilada-Casserole/Detail.aspx?prop24=RD_RelatedRecipes

Probably took me an hour to prep. I bought chicken breasts, cubed those and seasoned with cumin and coriander. I also chopped up 1/2 onion and 2 large cloves of garlic and sauteed that with the chicken. Once that was done, I went back and diced the chicken into smaller pieces.

When making the layers, I used 4 corn tortillas for each layer. I bought Old El Paso Enchilada sauce and green chiles.

I think it is easier to mix the sour cream with the chicken mixture rather than adding it to the top of the cheese layer. That did not work out. I included the sour cream in the final layer rather than waiting to add it at the end.

This fit perfect into my 11x7 glass dish.
