Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this casserole is as easy as pie. First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, I grab a mixing bowl and combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, onion, garlic, salsa, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir until everything is well mixed and the colors are vibrant and inviting. The smell of the spices is just intoxicating! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
