Equipment

  • 10-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron)
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 16-ounce jar enchilada sauce about 16 ounces (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream plus more for serving
  • 4 corn tortillas torn into quarters
  • 4 cups shredded chicken from a 2½-pound rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed
  • 1 15-ounce can low sodium black beans rinsed and drained
  • 3 ounces shredded cheese such as Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella (about 3/4 cup)
  • jalapeño peppers for serving, optional; sliced or chopped
  • fresh cilantro chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked onion mixture to a large bowl and set the hot skillet aside.
  • To the bowl, add the 16-ounce jar enchilada sauce, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup water; stir until combined.
  • Fold in the torn corn tortillas, 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, and the rinsed and drained 15-ounce can black beans until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Spoon the mixture into the reserved hot skillet and cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the 3 ounces shredded cheese evenly over the top and transfer the skillet to the oven; bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  • Let the skillet cool slightly, then top with additional sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro if desired; serve directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Jalapeños and cilantro are optional garnish choices.
  • Adjust salt to taste if using salted enchilada sauce.
  • For a milder version, omit jalapeños.
