WHAT CAN I BRING?
Perfect for: Family dinners, school gatherings, block parties.
Make and take: There are 9-by-13-inch baking dishes that come with snap-on lids and carrying cases that have both hot and cold packs --- ideal for taking all sorts of dishes to parties. If you don't have one of those, consider baking in a disposable aluminum pan (as shown here). Wrap the top with aluminum foil and carry in a box or bag.
Serving suggestions: Chips and salsa, a green salad, some Spanish-style rice and flan would complete the theme; but this will blend in well on most potluck tables.
Made famous by: Mary Anne Supic of Dacula, who makes this for her family and for other gatherings. She said she discovered the recipe in a newsletter from Jackson Electric, her electricity provider. "I normally wouldn't have read their newsletter, but this recipe on the back page caught my eye, " she said. "I hope your readers enjoy it as much as my family has!"
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups cooked, shredded or chopped chicken breast
1 can (7 ounces) diced green chiles
1 package (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning mix
8 corn tortillas
2 cups black beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil and cook the onion until tender. Remove from heat and stir in the chicken, chiles and seasoning mix.
Layer 4 tortillas in the greased dish. (For maximum coverage, cut 3 of the tortillas in half and place the halves, straight edges out, around the edges of the pan. Then put the fourth in the center.) Top with the chicken mixture, beans and 1 cup of the cheese. Layer the remaining tortillas and top with salsa and remaining cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
