Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In large bowl, stir together shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn kernels, green chilies, salt, garlic powder, and cumin until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Set aside.
Line bottom of greased baking dish with 1 ½ cups crushed tortilla chips, spreading chips out to cover entire dish in one even layer.

Repeat chips, chicken, and cheese layers until all ingredients have been added to baking dish.
Place baking dish in preheated oven. Bake, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove baking dish from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Once casserole has cooled slightly, divide into servings and serve warm with chopped cilantro and sour cream if desired.
