To make:

mix casserole up in (no sense in dirtying up more dishes!).

or casserole dish.

using. Black beans should be drained and rinsed. Dump all ingredients
into a medium pot. Stir.
2 Bring just to a boil over medium high heat and then reduce to low and
simmer 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm, as is or with toppings of your choice such as cheese,
sour cream, tortilla chips, salsa, avocado, etc. (We just usually serve
it as it is)



Chicken Enchilada Pie ~Bags To Dishes~

Ingredients
• 5 - 8 inch flour tortillas (label with this recipe title and store in freezer)

• 15 ounce can black beans
• 15 ounce can whole kernel corn
• 10-12 ounce can chicken
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (label with this recipe title and put in the
freezer)

Instructions
Assemble all canned goods in a large zipper seal bag along with a printed
copy of these instructions. Measure out cheese into a zipper seal bag and
label with this recipe title. Place in freezer along with tortillas until ready
to make the meal.
1
To make
1 Drain corn and chicken. Drain and rinse black beans.
2 Lightly grease an 8 inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Stir together
1+1/2 cans of Enchilada sauce and chicken, breaking up the chicken into
smaller pieces as you do so.
3 Place one flour tortilla in bottom of pan. Spread with . chicken enchilada
sauce. Top with . black beans, . corn, and . cheese. Cover with another
flour tortilla. Repeat this process with three more tortillas. Place final tortilla
on top and pour remaining enchilada sauce over it, spreading to cover. Top
with remaining cheese.
4 Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly. Allow to sit for a
few minutes before cutting and serving.
*One of the things about groceries nowadays that keeps us hopping is
that manufacturers keep changing the sizes of cans in order to cut costs.
If your can of vegetables, sauce, or chicken is an ounce or two (or three)
off, don't sweat it. It'll still work out just fine in this recipe.
