Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken pieces for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Pour in the Mexican style beer or chicken broth, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the chicken cook for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Shred the chicken using two forks.
- In the same skillet, add diced onions and sliced poblano peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, and dried oregano; cook for an additional minute.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix in the tomatillo salsa and drained black beans, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat to meld flavors.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In an oven-safe dish, layer half of the chicken mixture, half of the tortillas, and half of the shredded white cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients, topping with cheese.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and broil for about 5 minutes or bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with optional toppings.
