This dinner is about as fast as enchiladas can get, and that’s because it’s not really enchiladas it’s a tortilla casserole.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (16-ounce) jar medium-hot red salsa
- ½ cup sour cream, plus more for serving
- 4 corn tortillas, torn into quarters
- 1 (2½-pound) rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups shredded chicken)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheese, such as a Mexican cheese blend, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
- Pickled jalapeno peppers and chopped fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl; set aside the hot skillet. Add the salsa, sour cream, and ¼ cup water to the onion mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the tortillas, chicken, and beans until thoroughly coated.
- Spoon the mixture into the reserved skillet and cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then top the enchiladas with sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and cilantro (if desired) and serve directly from the skillet at the table.
