I am baffled by how popular this Chicken and Black Bean Chilaquiles recipe is at my house. The first time I made it I just knew it would be a flop, but to my surprise…..
My kids demolished this casserole. Conner even said we should call it The Thousand Dollar Casserole because it would win a cooking contest. Too funny.
I personally like it because it is so easy to throw together and uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. Don’t be surprised when you are fighting our 10 year old for the last serving.

Great! My kids love this Dinner! 🙂
This is great! I made it for dinner and the leftovers were gone the next day! My one little addition was a bag of frozen corn… nothing say Mexican yummy like some corn! Maria again you hit this one out of the park!
Yum! Great idea with the corn. So glad you guys liked it. 🙂
This is a family favorite! I use cut up corn tortillas to cut out some fat and salt and it turns out great!
Great idea! I should try that!
