I always cook too much, so there are always leftovers. Sometimes, those leftovers are the perfect combination to create something scrumptious! This was one of those times. I can't tell you how happy I was about that! Hope you like it!

How To Make chicken fajita casserole

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375°
  • 2
    Shred chicken breasts. In large bowl, combine shredded chicken with both soups. Mix well.
  • 3
    Pour about 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce into large baking dish. Make sure the dish has at least 3" sides. Place tortillas on top to cover the bottom of the dish. I cut mine so they wouldn't overlap.
  • 4
    Heat the refried beans and spoon over the tortillas, then smooth out. Spoon chicken mixture over beans, smoothing out.
  • 5
    Sprinkle half of the corn and half of the black beans over the top of the chicken mixture.
  • 6
    Sprinkle pick de gallo over chicken. Sprinkle about a cup (or more if you like) shredded cheese over that and then about half of the remaining enchilada sauce.
  • 7
    Repeat layers. The last layer should be tortillas, then the remaining enchilada sauce then cheese.
  • 8
    Cover with foil and bam in preheated oven for about 30 min. Uncover and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
  • 9
    Remove from oven and let sit for a bit before you cut it.
