You are in for a treat with my simple Layered Chicken Enchilada Bowls!
It’s always a pleasure partnering with Old El Paso to bring you quick and simple weeknight dinner recipes! This is one of our very favorites to whip up. My kids love to help so they can personalize their own bowl with their favorite ingredients.
Hope you enjoy!
Some of my most used Old El Paso items are for sure the Traditional Refried Beans. We use them for so many quick fix meals.
Another favorite is the Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce. From soups to rice bowls, it’s a great one to have on hand in the pantry.
Start by layering your bowls with a thin layer of warmed refried beans.
Top each bowl with hot cooked rice then green onions.
Layer with some warmed corn.
Add some halved cherry tomatoes up next!
Top with warm cooked chicken breast, warmed red enchilada sauce and some shredded cheese.
