1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
1 16-ounce container sour cream
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1-1/2 cups green salsa
1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (plus additional for garnishing)
12 soft taco-sized flour tortillas
1 8-ounce package shredded Mexican blend cheese
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix chicken, sour cream, black beans, salsa, corn, cilantro, and
spices in a large bowl.  Taste and adjust seasonings to your
preference.  Cut tortillas in half with kitchen shears.
 
In a 9x13 dish, scoop 1/3 of the chicken mixture into bottom of pan.
Spread evenly.  Place one layer of cut tortillas (about 4 tortillas)
on chicken mixture to cover.  Top with 1/3 of the amount of shreaded
cheese.  Repeat with chicken mixture, tortillas, and shredded cheese
two more times.  There should be three layers total.
 
Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and casserole
is warmed through.  Serve with sour cream and additional cilantro.
