Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Burrito Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine finely diced onion, chopped red bell pepper, uncooked long-grain brown rice, fajita seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the reduced sodium chicken broth, mild green chiles, tomato paste, and olive oil until smooth.
- Pour the well-mixed liquid into the baking dish and fold everything gently.
- Add the shredded chicken, rinsed black beans, and frozen corn to the dish, and stir until combined.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 65-70 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese across the top, returning to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until melted.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with fresh cilantro, green onions, salsa, and avocado as desired.
