Ingredients
- 4 whole Poblano peppers
- 2 whole Red bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken (optional)
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Sweet corn, canned or frozen
- 14 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned, with liquid)
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the poblano peppers and red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistering.
Step 3
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid to let them steam for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 4
Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the shredded chicken (if using), black beans, sweet corn, chopped roasted peppers, and diced tomatoes (with their liquid) to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread a thin layer of the chili mixture on the bottom of the dish.
Step 8
Layer 4 corn tortillas over the chili mixture, slightly overlapping them to cover the bottom. Top with half of the remaining chili mixture, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Step 9
Repeat with another layer of 4 corn tortillas, the remaining chili mixture, and the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Step 10
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
