Chicken Enchilada Rice Casserole image

My husband is a big mexican and tex-mex food fan and I am always looking at easy ways to make something new that the kids will also like. I usually make my own enchilada sauce and have some steashed in the freezer, which I recommend everyone finding a recipe for sauce they like because it is MUCH better than canned. If you don't want to venture into making your own (or just in a hurry) you can use your favorite canned variety. My family prefers Fritos as their crushed corn chip of choice but you can use whatever you have on hand or prefer. Also I used hominy but corn tastes just as good (I will list the substitution in the recipe.) I hope y'all enjoy it! This recipe can take on a variety of changes and additions and I am sure everyone will prefer it different, just like with enchiladas.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups instant rice
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can hominy, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed)
1 (15 ounce) can rotel (or diced tomatoes with green peppers)
hot sauce (to taste)
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups corn chips, coarsely crushed (we prefer Fritos)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine the enchilada sauce, broth, rice, tomatoes, beans, and hominy in a 9×13 baking dish. Season with Tabasco sauce to taste, depending on how spicy you want it. It can be left out if you do not like even mildly spicy.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and stir in the chicken. Sprinkle on the shredded cheese and then the crushed chips.
  • Return to the oven and cook for 15 more minutes.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
