Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
nonstick cooking spray
½ cup water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 cup milk
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®), drained
1 ½ cups coarsely crumbled tortilla chips
1 cup finely chopped tomatoes, drained
3 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Combine chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place water and bouillon cube in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir until bouillon cube is dissolved. Cool slightly, add milk, and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. When flour and butter are bubbly and thickened, gradually stir in milk-bouillon mixture. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese.
  • Combine chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and spice mixture in a bowl; mix well. Pour in cheese sauce and stir again. Pour casserole ingredients into the prepared baking dish.

  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle reserved Cheddar cheese and chopped tomatoes evenly on top of the casserole, then add dollops of sour cream.
