Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole.




Spread the black beans and 1/2 cup of the salsa verde onto the prepared casserole. Place the corn tortillas in a single layer on top of the beans, edges overlapping. Sprinkle the chicken and green chiles on top of the tortillas. Squeeze the lime juice over the chicken. Pour on the remaining 1/2 cup salsa verde. Sprinkle the cheese on top.




Place in the oven and bake until bubbling and the cheese has melted, about 8 minutes.




Garnish the top with cilantro and plate the avocado slices, red onion, sour cream and lime wedges for guests to use as a garnish for their individual servings. Serve immediately.
