  2. Cut 2 cooked chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large casserole dish (9x13 inch), combine the chicken, 1 cup salsa, 1 cup corn (canned or frozen), 1 (15-ounce) can of black or pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1.5 cups cooked rice, and 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Arrange tortilla strips evenly over the top of the casserole.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and the tortillas are lightly crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
