🌮 1 packet taco seasoning

Total Time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Equipment: 9x13 inch baking dish, aluminum foil

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, add the black beans, corn, Rotel (with the juices), chicken broth, and taco seasoning. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked shredded chicken and instant rice to the dish. Stir again to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and take off the aluminum foil. Give the casserole a final stir.
Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Cooking Tips:
Feel free to substitute Colby Jack with your preferred cheese such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
If you like it spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the mix.
