Chef's Note

Give your roasted veggies room to breathe on the pan so they get a sweet, charred edge instead of turning mushy.

Ingredients
  • 10 oz leftover Moroccan-spiced roasted chicken thighs

  • 1 medium red bell pepper

  • 1 cup corn kernels

  • 15 oz black beans

  • 1.5 cups red enchilada sauce

  • 4 oz cheddar cheese

  • 6 small corn tortillas

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

  • to taste tsp hot sauce

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    Wash 1 medium red bell pepper, remove the seeds, and chop it into 1/2-inch pieces.

  • 3

    Toss the chopped red bell pepper and 1 cup of corn kernels with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

  • 4

    Spread the seasoned pepper and corn across a large baking sheet, ensuring at least a half-inch of space between the pieces to promote browning instead of steaming.

  • 5

    Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until they are lightly charred and tender.

  • 6

    While the vegetables roast, grate 4 oz of cheddar cheese to yield 1 cup of cheese.

  • 7

    Cut 6 small corn tortillas into 1-inch wide strips.

  • 8

    Shred 10 oz of the leftover Moroccan-spiced roasted chicken thighs from Day 1.

  • 9

    Rinse and drain one 15 oz can of black beans.

  • 10

    In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, combine the shredded chicken, roasted bell peppers, roasted corn, drained black beans, tortilla strips, and 1.5 cups of red enchilada sauce. Stir gently to coat all components evenly.

  • 11

    Sprinkle the 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture.

  • 12

    Bake the skillet in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling at the edges and the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden.

  • 13

    Wash and finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro.

  • 14

    Remove the skillet from the oven, garnish with the chopped cilantro, and serve hot with your favorite hot sauce on the side for customizable heat.
