Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is a blend of a yahoo foods recipe, the back of the Old El Paso enchilada dinner kit, and what was in our pantry!
Ingredients
1 lb chicken
Old El Paso seasoning mix
flour tortillas
enchilada sauce
about 2 cups of cheddar cheese
1 can black beans
1 cup salsa

Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Cut chicken in bite sized pieces, saute then add 1/2 cup water and Old El Paso seasoning mix. continue cooking on medium-high for 4-8 minutes.
Mix chicken, 1 cup cheese, 1 of the enchilada sauce packets, rinsed & drained black beans in seperate bowl.
In ungreased 11×7 pan place tortilla halved on the bottom. Top with some of the other enchilada sauce then 1/2 of the chicken mix. Add another layer of tortillas. Top with salsa & some cheese. Add layer of tortillas. Top with other half of chicken mix. Add layer of tortillas. Top with salsa & cheese. (This is kinda however you want.)
Bake on 350 for about 30 minutes. If desired, served with sour cream, diced red peppers, green onions.
The yahoo & Old El Paso recipe called for onions sauteed with the chicken but we didn’t have any & don’t really like them. The yahoo recipe adds rice & the El Old Paso recipe adds sour cream in with the chicken/cheese/black beans mixture. Sadly we didn’t have either on hand, but I might try that for next time.
