For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with an equal amount of crumbled tofu or additional black beans. To add a smoky flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to suit your spice preference. This bake can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve with a side of guacamole and sour cream for a complete meal.

Jun 17, 2024I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the jalapeños. It was still very flavorful and enjoyable.
