How to Make Tex Mex Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly on the bottom of the dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, salsa, chopped onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  5. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.
  6. Add the remaining chicken mixture on top of the cheese layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and crushed tortilla chips over the top.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
