Cheesy Mexican chicken quinoa casserole is loaded with black beans, tomatoes, corn and peppers, plus plenty of cheese, for a delicious and healthy family dinner! (It's also gluten-free and easy to make ahead!)

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup quinoa, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped (see notes)
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup corn (frozen, canned or fresh; optional)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or sub black pepper for less heat)
2 - 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese), divided
Optional toppings: sliced avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped fresh cilantro, pico de gallo or salsa, hot sauce or pickled jalapeños

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350. Grease an 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt once it's finished cooking.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
  • Add chopped chicken and the black beans, tomatoes, corn and spices. Stir until well combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked quinoa and 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir well to mix. (If your pan isn't big enough, you can do this in a large bowl.)
  • Add the quinoa chicken mixture to the greased casserole dish. Top with remaining 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to let it set up completely.
  • Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!
