  • cooking spray

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar thick and chunky mild salsa

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Combine salsa, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in chicken, black beans, and corn.

  4. Place half of tortilla pieces in the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of chicken mixture and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers of tortilla pieces and chicken mixture.

  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
