Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 6 oz about half a bag tortilla chips gently crushed
  • 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 14.5 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes drained
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 8 oz can enchilada sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray
  • Mix all ingredients in a separate bowl, holding back 1 cup of shredded cheese
  • Place mixture in slow cooker and top with remaining shredded cheese
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours

Notes

  • Store leftover casserole in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing is optional for up to 3 months, but the texture may soften slightly as the chips defrost.
  • Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Shred cheese from the block for the best melting.
  • Stir gently after cooking and before serving if needed.
  • If you use a larger slow cooker, reduce the cooking time.
  • For make-ahead freezer prep, add all ingredients to a freezer bag, remove excess air, freeze for up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge before cooking.
