Ingredients
-
8.8-10 ounces whole-grain brown rice
-
12-ounce bag frozen whole kernel sweet corn
-
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
-
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded*
-
7-8 ounce can or jar chili verde (green chili) enchilada sauce
-
1 red bell pepper, chopped
-
1/4 cup green onions, chopped and divided (2 tablespoons each)
-
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
2 cups Cooper® Sharp White or Yellow cheese, shredded and separated (1 cup each)
-
1/2 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
-
1 Roma tomato, diced
-
1 bag of corn tortilla chips for dunking
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. NOTE: if you use a smaller dish, the dip will be deeper. The larger dish allows for a thin dip, perfect for dunking chips. Either is fine!
Cook rice and corn as directed on packages.
In a large mixing bowl, carefully stir rice, corn, beans, chicken, chile verde sauce, bell pepper, 2 tablespoons of the green onions, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and 1 cup of the Cooper® cheese. Mix until well blended.
Spread mixture into the baking dish. Bake uncovered 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and heated through.
Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of Cooper® cheese and bake another 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
While dip is baking, combine lettuce, tomato and remaining green onion in a small bowl. Remove dip from oven and sprinkle with lettuce mixture.
Serve warm with corn tortilla chips.
