This is a staple for our family. My kids LOVE it. Typically I divide this into 2 casserole dishes and freeeze one before cooking. Rotisserie chicken works well for this and I use green enchilada sauce and mild rotel tomatoes with green chiles. We serve this with avocado and extra black beans and often scoop it up with tortilla chips.
