Ingredients

3 cups crushed tortilla chips or Dorito Nacho Cheese chips

15 oz. black beans drained and rinsed

2 cups chopped cooked chicken(rotisserie chicken works well)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

21 oz. cream of chicken soup 2 (10.5 oz) cans

1 10 oz. can mold Rotel tomatoes undrained

1 cup shredded jack cheese

1 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese

1 tomato diced optional

1 bunch cilantro rinsed and chopped optional

Jalapeños optional

Sour cream optional

Guacamole optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 13x9 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Crush tortilla chips lightly and sprinkle approximately 1 cup across the bottom of the baking dish.

Layer diced chicken and black beans over the crushed chips.

Stir 1 teaspoon of cumin into the cream of chicken soup. Spread the soup mixture over the chicken and beans, using a spatula to gently spread it evenly over the entire top. Add canned tomatoes over the soup layer.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the Rotel layer and top with remaining crushed chips.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.

Garnish casserole with cilantro and chopped tomatoes.

Serve immediately with a slice or two of fresh jalapeño, spoon of sour cream and guacamole on top. 😋

Notes

Do not drain Rotel tomatoes before adding to casserole.

You can substitute Doritos for regular tortilla chips.

For another flavor element, mix a 4 oz. can of diced chiles into the soup/cumin mixture.

Prepare ahead of time except for the tortilla chips over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with chips. Bake until hot and bubbly.

Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche

I made this today as a test one before making another for a couple at church that had a baby. I’ve actually never eaten quiche let alone make one! I have to say it’s delish and will be making it again, and again and again. 😋 

Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche 

Serves 6

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 55 min

Total time: 1 hour 10 min

Ingredients

• 8 inch frozen pie crust regular or deep dish
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup ham chopped
• 1 cup mild or sharp cheddar cheese shredded
• 1/4 cup green onions chopped
• 2 tsp parsley chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Poke holes in the bottom of the frozen pie crust to prevent the crust from puffing up while baking. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden and set aside on a cooling rack. 
• While the crust is baking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until scrambled. 
• To the eggs, add the heavy cream, ham, cheese, parsley, green onions, salt, and pepper, then mix together until evenly combined.
• Next, place the pie crust on a small baking sheet. Spoon the egg mixture into the pie crust. 
• Cover the quiche with tented foil, ensuring the crust is covered and the egg mixture isn’t touching the foil otherwise, it sticks while baking.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle. Finally, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.
• Serve warm.

Notes

• You can use leftover ham or prepackaged diced ham cubes.
• You can add a little bit of cheese, parsley, and pepper on top right beore you bake it. 
• You can use other kinds of cheese like Gouda or Gruyere also.
