Pace® Picante is one of my favorite items in our pantry because it’s so versatile. My boys obviously love it with chips or as a condiment on all kinds of foods. I use as an ingredient because I know it will add a quick kick to dishes!
One of my very favorite shortcuts on busy days is using Swanson® Premium Chicken. It makes meal prep extra speedy since it’s already cooked and ready to use for quick everyday meals like this one.
Let me show you how to make Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole!
Mix Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup, a little Pace® Picante, and taco seasoning together.
Add chicken, corn, and black beans. Break chicken up a little with a fork if needed.
Spread a little bit of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
Set corn tortillas over chicken mixture.
Add another layer of chicken mixture.
Sprinkle cheese over chicken mixture.
Repeat layers, starting with tortillas and ending with cheese, two more times.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm. This is delicious served with a green salad or with a side of Cheesy Spanish Rice!
Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a shortcut, make ahead meal. It’s just what you need when it’s time for back to school!
My family wishes the summer could last forever. We need our kids to help us on the farm, we love having them around, and they’d rather work on the farm than go to school anyway.
Back to school brings a whole new level of crazy busy. It’s almost like we are forced into having a schedule because the kids have piano lessons, and homework, and chores. We have to balance that back to school schedule with the hectic summer “no schedule” on the farm. It’s fair to say that our schedule is brutal until we complete our harvest in the fall.
Being able to make a weeknight dinner, stick it in the fridge, and go on with my day makes helping do algebra homework in evenings much easier! So whether you need a make ahead so you can be a substitute tractor driver since your kids are in school and can’t drive it, or whether it’s your turn to drive the preschool carpool, or volunteering in the classroom this Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole will make you life easier and yummier!

This looks so delicious. We had something very similar for dinner last night. Tastes the same without all the rolling in traditional enchiladas. #client
Who has time for rolling enchiladas on busy nights anyway? This casserole shows up for dinner on busy nights quite often because it’s so easy and everyone loves it!
This is my kind of meal … simple, delicious, and not a whole lot of work! Saving it for those hectic back to school nights!
We could be soul sisters in the kitchen! Who has time for elaborate meals anyway? Especially if they can taste this good without too much effort!
I make enchiladas often but this casserole idea is genius, especially on those busy school nights!
I do love me a good casserole and you’ve assembled one with amazing flavors.
Yum, yum. This enchilada casserole looks super delicious! I love Pace Picante sauce and that canned chicken. Mmmm. Beautiful photos.
Thanks Elaine! I could eat salsa everyday and still love it! This casserole is awesome for families!
Love enchiladas and these look the bomb. Time to get the ingredients and make this for my family!
It’s quick and easy meals like this that make my life easier and my family happy!
There’s almost nothing better than a cheesy chicken enchilada and this one looks incredible!
I agree! Mexican food is my favorite, especially if it’s this easy!
I am a usually make things from scratch girl. With a covid-inspired influx of canned chicken, I tried it cautiously. IT IS AMAZINGLY tasty, and easy to make. I will definitely be entering this recipe in the regular rotation!!
This year we’ve definitely started cooking with whatever cans we have sitting on our shelves. I’m so happy this recipe was a winner at your house! Casseroles are a perfect place to use canned chicken!
Soooooo want to try this recipe. But I HATE BLACK BEANS. Could I possibly replace them with refried beans and just layer them into the dish.
Yes! You could use refried beans and layer them in the dish. Or you could use any other kind of beans…pinto, red beans, kidney beans, or even navy or great northern beans. Let me know how it turns out!
