Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips (for topping)
- 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
- Juice of 1 lime
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup frozen fire-roasted corn (optional, for extra flavor)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Mix the Base Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn (both canned and fire-roasted, if using), sour cream, mayonnaise, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, cilantro, cotija cheese, and half of the shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Casserole:
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake:
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling.
Add Crunch:
Remove from oven, sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to toast the chips slightly.
Serve:
Garnish with extra chopped cilantro, more cotija, and a few lime wedges if desired. Serve hot!
