Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, Greek yogurt, cooked rice, salsa, half of the shredded cheese, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and optional crushed tortilla chips. Serve warm.
For best results
- For extra protein, use Greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute and add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the mixture.
- To save time, use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken strips.
- Make it spicier by adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Variations
- Vegetarian: Replace chicken with extra black beans or pinto beans and add bell peppers and corn.
- Low-Carb: Omit the rice and add cauliflower rice or extra vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers.
- Gluten-Free: Ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free; serve with gluten-free tortilla chips.
