Recipe: Mexican One Dish Casserole

In a rush? Need to just throw something in the oven? I felt like my Mexican Lasagna yet I didn’t have time to make it…this recipe has the same flavours without all the work. Time for Mexican one dish casserole.

The prep for this recipe took me 6 minutes – then the oven did the rest of the work. Try it next time you’re in a time crunch.

Ingredients

• 5 chicken breasts
• a cup of raw quinoa
• 1 cup of vegetable broth
• 2 cans of corn
• a can of black beans
• 1 cup of salsa
• 1/2 a red onion
• 1 red pepper
• 3 green onions
• a jalapeño
• a handful of cilantro
• 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
• 1 tablespoon of chili powder and cumin

First – gather all of your ingredients.

Next – chop the red onion, red pepper, jalapeño and the cilantro. Then, mix in the quinoa, vegetable broth, corn, black beans, salsa, chili powder and cumin – put it all in a 9×13 dish. Cut the chicken and push it into the casserole, covering it fully. Top with the shredded cheese. Save the green onions to top it at the end.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the chicken is done. Top with green onions and eat with holy guacamole.

So good – and a quick and easy way to eat well and still get all of that laundry done.

I hope you all had a fabulous long weekend – check back often and keep enjoying your summer.
