Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for the casserole.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend.
- In a 9x13 baking dish, mix together the chopped white onion, diced red bell pepper, and uncooked brown rice. Sprinkle the seasoning mix and stir until well-coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, chopped green chilies, olive oil, and tomato paste until combined. Pour over the rice and vegetable mixture, stirring gently.
- Fold in corn kernels, drained black beans, and shredded cooked chicken. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 65-70 minutes.
- Remove foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar over the casserole. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool slightly, then serve topped with fresh cilantro, green onion, avocado slices, and salsa.
