Hey there!

I’ve missed you guys!

Tom and I decided to change things up a bit this Easter.

Instead of celebrating the holiday at the beach, we decided to pack up the Airstream and head to Nashville, Tennessee!

If you follow me on IG, I hope you caught some of the fun on my stories!

If you didn’t, fear not, I’ll be sharing soon here on the blog.

Nashville has always been on my bucket list, so now I can happily say that it’s been crossed off and was so worth a visit!

With the Easter holiday behind us, it’s full steam ahead to Cinco de Mayo!

And since I adore all things Mexican, I had to share a little something here at the BHK.

This Chicken, Black Bean and Tortilla Casserole is a hearty, flavorful, healthyish dish that’s incredibly easy to throw together on those busy weeknights when you’ve got a hankering for Mexican food!

Healthy veggies like tomatoes, black beans, onions, green chiles and corn combined with some shredded rotisserie chicken and then layered with shredded cheddar jack cheese and corn tortillas will satisfy the heartiest of appetities.

In addition, I’ve added some medium picante sauce, cumin, chili pwder, oregano and garlic to spice things up.

I’ll also be sharing a quick little appy shortly for your Cinco de Mayo celebration, so stay tuned.

Hope ya’ll give this one a go! You won’t be disappointed! Enjoy!

 

A Few Cook’s Notes for Chicken, Black Bean and Tortilla Casserole Recipe:

I used medium picante sauce, but if you like things less spicy, use mild.

To make things super simple I purchased already shredded rotisserie chicken from my local market. Always a time saver!

Nothing beats an easy sheet pan meal. This Sheet P Nothing beats an easy sheet pan meal. This Sheet Pan Gnocchi and Veggies is one of our favorites.⁣
You don’t even need to boil the gnocchi beforehand. The gnocchi gets lightly browned and crispy on the outside, while the texture on the inside is slightly chewy and tender as it bakes in the oven.⁣
The veggies are a combination of mini bell peppers, red onion, grape tomatoes and garlic. Everything gets tossed with some salt, pepper, fresh rosemary and olive oil. While the mixture is roasting, the tomatoes burst making somewhat of an extra little sauce. This is a <30 minute meal from start to finish and one that always saves the day!⁣
